I know this is by far the dumbest suggestion you will get but have you sealed your intake manifold.
what type of carb we talking about what type of spark plug and its gap and fuel mix.
Is the carb air cleaner clean is the choke off?
checked for air leaks? is the intake manifold gasket blocking the intake?
Did you try an o-ring to seal the carb to the intake which I think is the wrong thing to do is so is it still in place and not sucked into the engine.
your exhaust gasket restricting the port?
head bolts tight?
no leaks around the head or cylinders base?
do you still have the old carb? will it wok any better?
some of the carbs needles are not tapered correctly if at all mic top middle and bottom let me know your reading if you can. Pablo send me his problem child carb that I got to working correctly then sent it back to him.
just some of the things that you can check that might be causing your problem.
With me, there IS no dumb question lol... can you explain a little better? I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about. I think I do but want to be sure. Are you talking about the piece the carb bolts on to that goes into the engine? If that is your question, I have to say that I don't know. should I take it off and look? (sorry for the dumb question)I know this is by far the dumbest suggestion you will get but have you sealed your intake manifold.
deacon, the motor & kit was given to me as a gift and a lot of things came already assembled. So that's why I can't answer some of your questions. I did not put this engine together myself. Maybe that will explain why I'm a bit of a dunce about all this.I know this is by far the dumbest suggestion you will get but have you sealed your intake manifold.
That's right Jason, the old carb had a BAD gas leak and I was never able to find out why. The carb with the bad leak would fly, I think due to the abundance of gas. But it leaked REAL bad and I just gave up on it. Now no more leaks but not much power. I'm beginning to wonder if the performance that I am getting right now is normal? I tried the e-clip on all settings and it didn't make much of a difference. Everyone has been so helpful.... I've been waiting but no one has told me to go jump yet (smile). Thanks everyone.I thought the old carb was leaking gas and that was the problem?
