clone ungoverned?

[kendelrk]

wait, so if i hadent rejet my clone, id be okay?

 

[Russ2251]

Possibly, but unknown to me. I've run across a few that had undersized jets from the factory.
If these jets were improperly calibrated when assembled at factory, then there would have been a problem with engine to begin with.
Surging comes to mind.

 

[kendelrk]

It dosent surge it runs smooth, idles nice, just has the choke problem. I'm sort of thinking to lean with my 90 jet

 

[kendelrk]

Or maybe a gasket?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Possibly.

Put your 90 jet in if you have a header/filter. With a free flowing pipe and air filter you need a jet with a .036 size. Most racers following AKRA rules are in the .035-.038 range to achieve optimal jetting.

On both of the clones that i did filter/exhaust mods to they started to break up on the top end and throughout the rpm band. They didn't do this stock. So why did the re-jet work then?

 

[kendelrk]

im re jeted to 90, i have been since i installed my header and filter, im starting to think its gasket problems

 

[kendelrk]

its only happening once i get the engine hot, so after a time around the block, it starts to give me problems

 

[Russ2251]

Not sure if this has been covered or not...but, have you checked float level for correct height spec?

 

[kendelrk]

i havent checked this, but the heights never been messed with

 

[Russ2251]

Has the bowl ever been removed that you are aware of?

 

[kendelrk]

not besides the time i rejetted it to 90

 

[Russ2251]

Then possibly it is out of spec.
Might be a good idea to check and adjust as necessary.
Just one thing to subtract from the possibility that this is the problem.

 

[kendelrk]

how would i check and adjust?

 

[Russ2251]

Easy to check and adjust.
I do not know the spec. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

This will give you an idea:

Keep in mind that pic is representative only and applies to Tecumseh carbs.
Possible that your float may not be adjustable.

 

[kendelrk]

i dont beleive it is, i beleive its just a plastic float. with the needle on, could it be easier to help identify, if i had a video of what was happening?

 

[kendelrk]
