 Re: Deacon's Bike
This is the strangest carb i have ever seen. It will flood at the drop of a hat. I had to stop wearing a hat around it.
If I am wrong somebody tell me please since I am trying to understand.
1. If I touch the throttle while starting the engine it will flood.
2. If I work the throttle while the engine is stopped the engine will flood.
3. I haven't tried to drag start this configuration yet. So I have no idea what continuous turning of the engine will do. It might help it start it might not.
4. I did buy and install a bike cable and brake lever as a throttle.
5. I did add a compression spring to the rear of the carb.
6. I did verify that the engine is grounded to the frame now.
7. I have test fired the engine today finally after flooding it again today.
Things still to do..
1. Hook up the kill switch
2. finish building a mount that will put even pressure on the drive wheel without ruining the tire or the engine.
3. test start the engine while it is attached to the wheel.
4. test the drag start capabilities. |
