[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Ok. bored the wolv, new rings and all. its got 125 to 150 compression. Put it back together and it wouldnt open up.It would take about half throttle without bogging. Took the carb apart, cleaned it and built it, no help. Idles but wont open up. Took a carb of an older warrior, built it, put it on. It will run like a scalded dog as long as the air box is off of it except it wont quite open up on top end a skips a little. Put the air box on it with the warrior carb and it acts like it has a stutter box on it if you give it much gas at all. Well, now I noticed this. idling in neutral it skips some but there is air going back towards the airbox out of the carb. rev it up and it looks like gas is coming around the needle and out the airbox end of the carb along with the air pressure. rev it up and it blows air and gas out the airbox end of the carb. Now that to me would indicate that there is a valve problem. I have not had the head checked or looked at. But the question becomes how can it hold 125 to 150 compression on a gauge and have valve trouble that would allow enough compression to come backwards through the carb to cause that kind of pressure? I know it is running rich cause the plugs are black. Also, I have not yet tried the original carb without an airbox to see if it will run better. Just thought I'd ask for opinions on what I have seen so far. If anyone would like to ask any other questions they think are relevant, plz do. Ill provide answers.

 

how does it have between 125 and 150 lbs??? you help it WOT right?

 

WOT? whats that? I just screwed in the compression gauge and turned it over till the guage didnt move anymore, which i would questimate to be about 10 seconds. If WOT means With Open Throttle, then no. However, that does lead me to this: I didnt turn the fuel off when I checked it. I never do on cars so I didnt think of that. That could raise the compression if you are saying it is to high.

I have decided that it is just a carb problem because its symptoms change. My original wolv carb (vacuum operated throttle) is not pulling the needle up. Could be a bad diaphram. If the diaphram is good, does anyone have any suggestions on why it wouldnt be getting proper vacuum?

I actually like the warrior carb better. It seems to pull harder. I know it is running to rich and I think its because the sleeve for the needle is worn and is letting fuel blow past it up into the air passage. I am going to replace those parts and see. Does anyone know of any other place the fuel that is coming up into the air passage could be coming from?
