[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 222755, member: 3959"] 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? [/QUOTE]
