it's already on a bike so it's still a related question I guess.
anyway, I took the engine apart, soaked everything in 2 stroke gas for 24 hours to clean off all the gunk and put it all together with plenty of oil and brand new gaskets.
I got it to crank over a couple times but only on idle at a certain speed, so I figured it was the factory adjustments. Pulled the red cap off and backed it out a half a turn and it hasn't come close to running since.
Compression's good, The carb has a brand new bulb on it and pumps gas no problem. It's got great spark and the muffler isn't restricting anything.. and also made sure the idiot switch wasn't the problem as well. I've backed the adjustments close to in and close to out and almost every point in between, and still nothing. I'm scratching my head on this one. Could it be that I'm running my fuel inlet and fuel return to a T adapter that goes to the tank? :shrug:
any input would be helpful.. I'll try putting a different carb on it tomorrow and see what it does... :hammer:
