Hi Guys,
Ok basically I have a new China Girl installed on a standard mens bike.
Engine will start and idle with choke fully on. However, when I push the choke lever down fully the engine dies. If I push it down 1/8 of the way she will run up to about 10mph but with Zero pulling power.
I have spark, perfectly clean carb, ok idle screw and no air issues. Jet is fine and doesn't need to be drilled.
(I know I have no issues as I transferred a running engine + carb + exhaust onto this particular bike and when it was on this bike it would not run anymore)
I am toying with the idea that the engine head is too flat and I'm not getting enough fuel into the intake when I lower the choke.
Any advice out there for an engine that will not run unless choke is on?
Also I tried it with the fuel cap open and no joy...
*scratches head...
Cheers guys,
Colm
