Before he brought it to me he took off the original carb and threw it away….:ph34r: and put a cheap ebay new carb on it. He told me it would run but wouldn’t idle so I told him to bring it and let me look at it.
First thing I had to do was put an air cleaner on it. He had taken all of that off and was just running it with an open carb throat.:ph34r:
So I got the airbox from him and rigged up a Jeep radiator hose to run between carb and airbox, and put a new air filter element on it.
If I idle it WAY up it will stay running most of the time, but still dies from time to time. I thought there might be a leak where the carb attaches to the head, but sprayed starter fluid around with it running and heard no change.
Right now it’s idled up higher than it should be. Am I missing something here or can I blame this on the cheap chinese carb? Seriously, it was like $35 new on ebay…..
