[william]

theres no mods to the engine just stock and the carb i bought is factory set would it be the plug its a chinese torch one?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Change the plug, they can do some funny stuff, cheap too.

 

[william]

Going to tomorrow its a brand new carb like
It made a backfire when i pulled the pullstart tonight which give me the idea of the sparkplug being the problem its snowing heavey here too and wanted to go out a spin aww well

are you running the stock air filter as well? the stock air filter on those clones is so restrictive that you have to drill the main jet just to get them to run if you take the filter off.

 

[william]

yeah standard airbox
Going to get a plug now will let you guys no how i get on

u have pics of this motor ive heard so much about clones is it gen. honda or briggs motor im a newb thats why i need to know lol

 

[1992suburban]

did you get new gaskets when you put carb on? when its running.. spray a lil ether or something around carb seal and see if idle changes.
fuel OK?? filter clogged?? line pinched??

 

[william]

put a new ngk B7ES into her and its running like a dream tho i have to set up the throttle linkage?

Would anyone have a picture of the standard throttle linkage please

 

[william]

any one got a picture of standard linkage or send me a link id much appreciate it guys

[william]

any one

most guys don't hookup the throttle in the normal way. they (most of em) use a kit. i hooked mine up like the genuine honda's are ran. on my clone i hooked it differently. the short side of the arm is where i hooked my rigid 'cable' and installed a bolt to pinch the casing. i used the stock honda clip. i put a z-bend in my cable to keep it in the short side of the arm. this pic is of honda not clone. honda has nuts welded to the bottom side. clone doesn't.

 

[william]

cheers thanks fot that
I need to know what size of jet would be the best to run as its a standard carb but at top end it seems to die like a lack of fuel

 

[mike75925]

these engines vary so much to start, then we monkey with them, so more variables. the best advice is to take and drill your jet out until you get a good plug read. there are a few posts on this

 

[william]

got sorted out going perfect now
do you lot keep the oil shut off switch on these engines

 

[mike75925]

nope, disconnect it. when you ride, the oil will slosh and kill the motor

 

[r_chez_08]

i removed mine

 

[william]

nope, disconnect it. when you ride, the oil will slosh and kill the motor

what you mean will slosh?
