Mister T Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Running a 14mm cheetah on alky 39mm pwk carbs The engine will "start" easily but dies quickly.....have tried with choke on and off with same result Have also tried slight throttle while kicking over..same thing starts and dies quickly A couple times it seemed to have "run-on" when it died and also slight backfiring when it died Any ideas and suggestions on where to start to fix this?

Mister T Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Carb sync? I did sync the carbs....by eye.Figured once I had it running and broke in I would get everything fine tuned Quote
Mister T Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Been out messing with the shee this morn.... The engine will start with a half kick ! but dies after 1 or 2 seconds.Sometimes with a small backfire...and sometimes will give a small backfire when kicked over again I have a dynatek fs ignition...which didnt come with spark plug wires.The local yamaha dealer suggested I put 2 short automotive spark plug wires on instead. Could this be causing the problem?Improper resistance or something Quote
-Herbie- Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 is your choke crossover tube installed & in good shape no cracks etc? Quote
Mister T Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 is your choke crossover tube installed & in good shape no cracks etc? i am assuming it runs betwen the 2 carbs? just where should this tube attach....other than the overflows,the powerjet tubes and fuel lines i dont really see where they would / should attach * hangs head in shame * lol Quote
Mister T Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 39 pwk don't have crossover That makes me feel a bit better that I hadnt missed that lol Quote
dcalsv02 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 I'm just trying to throw out some ideas. Having said that, can the slides go in backwards like the stock ones can which causes a similar effect? Quote

Having said that, can the slides go in backwards like the stock ones can which causes a similar effect? The slides in the 39mm pwks can only go in one way, unlike stock slides I am still wondering about the automotive plug wires I was told to use.....and I dont have anything to change them out with Quote
Mister T Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Posted June 26, 2011 Well I got the shee to start !! Dont ask me how and what I did to fix anything lol Problem now is.....I have white oil...and I have what looks like a coolant leak somewhere on the bottom of the base !!! I did purge the engine after running it a bit. Any ideas as to what the leak could be from and is the white oil related or is it possibly from excess fuel getting into the base?? Quote

Jereme6655 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 If your tranny oil is turning white then you havea coolant leak. When you mix trans fliud and oil it comes out kind of like a white milky fluid. You need to find your leak.... I believe the right side crank seal is the culprit with these problems Quote
