Fast Coleman part 2

[ColemanPowell]

Continued from part one: Out of the box, the idle is way too fast. Or it may be something else. Starts up fine. When I unchoke it, it takes off. I squeeze the brake as hard as I can and it still move forward until I shut it off.

Either the idle is set too high or the clutch is engaging prematurely. Since you said it didn't happen until after you turned off the choke, I'm going with thale throttle. You can adjust those throttles via a set screw. I don't have one to take pictures of, but if you're even slightly mechanically inclined, you'll figure it out

[ColemanPowell]

Thanks fellas. I can be mechanically inclined and tried the idle screw adjustment. I couldn't get it to stall out. Called Amazon and they are sending a different one by Monday!

Forgot about that tip Raskin! Good call!!

Yup.. lube the clutch bearing.

 

[ColemanPowell]

I'll make sure I do that on the replacement. Thanks again.

The replacement arrived today and it runs as I expected version 1 to run. I'm so excited! It will be great for motoring around the neighborhood.
