Don't start!!!
Clogged PJ wasn't the problem. So I removed the starter jet and the main jet, both clear, and running the OE spec size. The only size difference was the PJ - book calls for a 40, mine has a 45.
This thing wants to run. She fires every 4-5 kicks, and backfires out the exhaust.
I am having issues with the throttle cables getting enough free-play though. Every time I tighten them down at the carb they tighten up. It seems like it fires more when I have the idle screw in a certain range, but everything else is out of whack and I keep making adjustments its hard to know where that is. I had it running yesterday for a minute or two but it was still in pieces and I didn't have a fan blowing on the radiator so I shut it down, but it ran great. Haven't had it running since though. Every time it fires it'll run for a second then die, wont idle, wont take throttle.
Is it a good idea to remove the throttle cables and start there, using just the idle speed screw?
Also, what does the hot start do?
I already did. 2 new Pro-X intakes. Exhaust's were good.It’s a F, check the valves. Then get ready to replace them.
I did both. Which I was told repeatedly afterward that I wasn't supposed to do. I was told that I ruined my new valves, and screwed up the seats.Did you just replace them or actually lap them in?
If it has not ran since you did the valves I’d be checking clearances again.I already did. 2 new Pro-X intakes. Exhaust's were good.
It runs good. Sounds healthy. Just gotta get this carb thing figured out.If it has not ran since you did the valves I’d be checking clearances again.
Just got a brand new set in the mail last night.Cables are about the cheapest option here so I would replace them and see where you stand then, as you said your having issues there so eliminate it as a possible problem!
Losses return cable to much slack. It will return faster.
