[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 205858, member: 3959"] Today I installed the radiators, filled, and pressure tested to 18psi like the manual says; it held, so all good there. Then after kicking it a bunch more I got it running and got the air out, ran it for a few minutes, then shut it down to top off the radiator per the manual. Also, It doesn't have an overflow tank - if anyone knows where I can get one I'm all ears... Then after 15 more minutes of kicking without getting it running I started to look at the carb. After removing the top cover for the jet needle diaphragm I saw some dirt and nastiness so I removed the whole thing and started inspecting it. It was fairly clean inside like someone had been there before, and inside the float bowl all was looking pretty good, except the pilot jet was clogged pretty good. The real nastiness came when I removed the coasting enricher cover. The diaphragm inside had obviously never been touched and the rubber had started to come off of it and was turning into a thick sludge and was stuck in place. So I gave it a good cleaning and blew it out, but now I need that enrichment diaphragm. So that's where it's at now. Cam chain is still noisier than I'd like it to be, and I dont have the leg for this thing either. Also - it needs an air cleaner... [/QUOTE]
