Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate your help as this will be the fourth time taking the carbs off and cleaning/adjusting.
was flooding when running slow and not wanting to start back up. cleaned the carbs, blew everything out, still same
Removed, cleaned and this time adjusted floats to specs in clymers 15.5-16.5mm, they definitely looked more level. I also reset the needle valves to spec 3/8-7/8 turn out (which seems much less than most of the other hp engines)
took it out today, started fine, ran till warmed up and then no acceleration, alarm sounded and I was able to limp back in. didn't seem to be overheating but I'm assuming the carb float level is too low, even though it's at spec or the needles are not correct. Can anyone tell me if the specs in clymers are wrong or if there's something I'm missing? I'm ready to take it to the dealer, but I've done alot of work and would like to try and redeem myself first!!
Thanks!
Chris
