RIPPIN' IT UP Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Have you checked the condition of your reeds while the carbs have been off? Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Did you change the oring on the seat brass barrel? Are your reeds sealing or letting pressure back in? You can stop playing with jetting doubt that's it , but you are in need of a top end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stop playing with jetting doubt that's it , but you are in need of a top end Yes I changed the whole seat and o ring and checked my reeds that were in pretty good shape. No gaps in the paddles. I did pull the fly wheel just to see and I found that I broke my woodruff key in half when reinstalling the flywheel. So one half was still holding the flywheel in place while the other bounced around my stator which I'm assuming destroyed it and is the reason for these low end problems. I'll post a pic of the stator later when I get home tonight. Could a stator cause these issues? I'm just assuming because it's the first thing I've actually found wrong beside the compression being down.

RIPPIN' IT UP Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Might cause issues but carbs flooding isn't one of them. Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerusso45 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm wondering if it's not creating a large enough spark at low RPM's which is causing the carbs to flood out. I noticed when checking for spark when I kicked it normally I would only get a somewhat weak spark and when I kicked it very aggressively I would get a nice strong blue spark.

Scrubby Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 double check the slides are in the right carb, but that doesnt explain the fuel coming out of the overflows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPIN' IT UP Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Is it both carbs? What kit did you use to rebuild them? Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerusso45 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Slides are in the correct carbs, yes both carbs leak, and I used a shindy kit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited September 22, 2016 by jakerusso45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 im going to assume you checked the float height right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerusso45 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yes several times and it's in spec each time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 that leads me to think you have a hole in the float. i cannot see any reason why the motor would cause it to overflow. if it has that much pressure returning to the carbs, i would think it would try to push back by the slides, not into the bowl.

jakerusso45 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm just as confused. Both carbs act the same way so that's why I thinking it's connected to the stator being screwed up but is there anyway I can see if the floats are still good?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pull them out and shake em. Listen/feel for liquid. Then dunk em and see if bubbles come out. I'm wondering if the shindy kit was junk.

jakerusso45 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Cool I'll pull the carbs apart later this afternoon. I'm starting to think that kit is junk too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
