I thought so too and the voltage is at 12.5 12.6 volts. It turns over great with plug out.

Also on the carb there is a hose on the very bottom that I let vent. I believe it is the float bowl overflow outlet. Am I correct to allow this hose to vent or does this hose connect to vacuum?

Alright after working for a few hours this afternoon on this worrisome issue, I had not accomplished any progress, still no idle. I have a few theories that I am not sure will ever pan out but, 1. I thought the filter may have been dry so I re oiled that. 2. When I adjusted the valves my filler gauge only went to .08 so both the exhaust and the intake are set this way. Could this be the problem?
@alley - I took the A/F screw down to 1 turn and it was a little more responsive after that. The idle adjustment made little to no difference. I just found my charger for my handycam so tomorrow I will post a video so you can hear what I am hearing but the battery died today before I got very far.

Pulling the plug is one thing that I did do and it was definitely dry. I had begin to wonder if I were getting enough fuel from the petcock. So I pulled the fuel line and cranked it over and there seemed to be a free flow of fuel. I will try one turn out in the morning.

I have to keep bumping the throttle until I can not keep up with it. I try to tweak the idle or the A/F at the same time but it doesn't work.

I actually did that this afternoon, This is when it began to crank. I turned it out about 2.5 -3 turns counter clockwise and did not move it one way or the other as of when I left it. I had thought that tomorrow I would go half a turn CCW and see what happens. I turned the idle screw down 2.5 times. When running it sounds really good, I am ranter pleased with my work.

There is some kick back but not much. The biggest issue is just having to continuously crank. I think once I can get it to a point of idle, I would be alright. But it is gettingit to that point that is a little doubting.

I had some time today to get out and work on the scoot. I got it started several times but was unable to maintain idle. I am not sure what to do to get idle because I have to bump the throttle to keep it running. What do you guys suggest on this issue? Once again this is a 30mm CVK. Also I did not and regular fuel (93 Octane) fuel and i had some Cam II (112 Octane) in a container. so I used about a cup of it. Will this adversely affect the engine and or carb? @alley - I found that the starter was the reason the battery was being dragged so low. I think the starter was starting to burn up, I switched it out and it has not done the same. Though I have noticed that regardless if I have to keep trying to start the battery, it drains really fast because of the compression. tvnacman - I looked for my stock carb and I can not find it so I am stuck with this 30mm unit. If I have to buy another one I would much rather tackle the EFI. |
