Hi all,
after a couple of weeks of assembly, today was the first engine start!
Everyhing went smooth, it barely required any efforts to make it run. Fuel on, primer on, a couple of wheel turns and voila!
But after warming up the engine for a couple of minutes, I disengaged the primer and the revs went up wildly... Checked the gas cable and it was fine... it also tried to rev it up even further.
After putting back the primer revs went down again.
So I guess it may be an air leak somewhere (when the mix is rich due tomthe primer it is "fine" but in normal mode it it just too much and it revs up)...
That and checking the carb and cable....
Any other hints?
I'll be digging deep in the forum for further tips and take a look as soon as I have the time...
Thanks and cheers from Argentina,
Alex
