I have been having carb troubles. I am beginning to look at outside influences. For instance I can't get the carb on the homelite to pull gas from the tank. It seems I have had more than one act that way. I also had it happen on the 33 bike. I am beginning to wonder if it isn't something more than a weak carb.
For one thing my gas lines from the walbro carb to the gas tank are bout three feet long. Then I think on this current on at least the gas tank is lower than the engine forcing it to pull up hill. I wonder if those two thing influence the carbs ability to suck gas. I'm going to make some test tomorrow. using shorter runs and tanks that are higher than the carb. I know that chainsaws suck gas from tanks that are below the carb but they are also within a few inches of the carb. I don't know but it would seem to make a difference.
I'll let you know what if anything I find out... and if you know please let me know so I can save the experiment..
