jeepwm69 7,626 Posted October 17, 2022 I’ve been overwhelmed with family stuff lately, but today I had a little time this afternoon and finally adjusted the valves on this one, I added the fuel tank, and tried to take it for a spin. It idles well. When I tried to go it feels gutless and started spitting and sputtering, backfired, and died. This repeated every time I tried to actually tried to go on it. Will sit and idle fine. Carb was cleaned, and I’m wondering if the muffler is partially clogged? Exhaust is coming out of the pipe but something just isn’t right. Third video I finally feathered the throttle enough to get it and keep it going, but it was gutless, missing, and I was just trying to get back up the driveway.

jeepwm69 7,626 Posted October 17, 2022 So the question is, can I take the muffler off and leave the header pipe on and try running it? Something that was me that won’t run worth a crap either with no back pressure IMG_0944.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 823 Posted October 17, 2022 Is there any chance the rubber slide seal might not be seated in the top of the carburetor? I’ve had a few in the past it wouldn’t rev up like that and we’re just gutless and I found out because it was a vacuum slide and I had not seated the rubber seal properly, it wouldn’t rev up once I reseated the seal it was full power. -Just a guess on my part though If you remove the air filter and use them a mirror you can see if the slide is pulling up when you rev it up just to answer your previous question I have run them ever so briefly without a exhaust on there just for a quick check so I think it would be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 17, 2022 It sounds to me like it is out of time , or a valve is stuck partially open or not sealing off. I find if the carb slide diaphragm leaks , it will run fine till half throttle then fall flat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 17, 2022 Take out the spark plug. Put you finger over the hole. Spin it over and see if you can feel the suck in and then compression and exhaust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,626 Posted October 17, 2022 It's definitely weird. I'll check the carb slide first, see if it's something that simple. If that looks ok, I'll try checking the plug, and then I guess I'll have to stand it up and pull the front cover again and check the timing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
