Sorry,

Forgot to put that in. Yes, cleaned air cleaner, lower hose in box, relubed foam filter.

Also took carb off, all rubber o rings and soaked for 2 hrs,.
Blew out with compressed air, reinstralled all.
Had it running and idling, but very rough.
Rpm were going up and down.
Used the same trick you did with the pull out bit from the 4 way screwdriver ( only way I could get to it lol)
Adjusted side screw, still rough.

Am at a loss.

Thanks for your help!

 

Ok, here's 3 pitures of my carb. It's really hard to get a side view of it.

 

Hey Bud,

Thank you. That answers my question. The hose which comes off the upper diaphram goes into the side port, and the port which is beside the gas line is the one which is the air hose that goes up by the gas tank as a vent hose. problem is, the only way I can get the bike to run, is to switch those two ports. ITs crazy.

I spent 3 hours last night messing with it. If anyone can tell me a sequence which works to set the lower fuel/air mixture jet and side idle screw would be great.

The only way I could get the bike to fire last night was to setup the fuel/air on bottom of bowl at 1.5 to 1/34 and the side idle at about 2 turns out. Then it would fire, but then conk out. When I adjusted the pilot to 2 turns, then it would not fire.

In other words. If I have the fuel air mixture set to 1 3/4, what should I set the side idle screw at to start the adjustment process.
What has worked for ya'll? the side idle at 2 turns out? 4 turns out?

Thanks for all the help. I am about to give up, but really know I need to know this in case I break down out i the field somewhere.

 

Kas, if by "side idle screw" you mean the one that sets the RPM, it should be 1400 RPM. If you don't have a tach, put it in gear and bring the idle up until the clutch engages, then back off a little. As far as the mix screw, the one on the bottom, I adjusted mine in until it ran rough, then out until it ran rough, and put it half way between these two settings. But the side idle should be kept around 1400. So, you may have to go back and forth between the 2 screws. I think my mix is about 2 1/4 out. Your problem could also be if the idle clip is in the wrong position. Do you know what I mean by that?

 

I don't know how you're getting under there to that mix screw but my problem was heat from the engine. I wore a glove without fingers so I could turn the driver. What a pain.

 

Hey Bud,

Yea, I have 3 new fresh burns on my right hand...lol.

Would be great if I could call you and discuss a little more detail. Nice to speak to someone who has the exact model as myself.

Thanks for taking the time to help out!
