Head to the wiki - read over and do carbs 101

Thanks for the reply is it likely to be a fuel problem

Also, make sure you have the coils hooked up correctly, done that wrong once and it only ran on 2 cylinders.

[123peckham1]

What is the correct way that the coils are hooked up and i will check them

You did mention that one of the float bowls was dry.. So ya it's a fueling issue.

Time for proper carb service....

Fixed that for you....

Carbs 101, plus a teardown and dip in Berrymans.

Nope, I give up on that type statement, you know why....

[skjeflo]

Yeah, but if you don't include that then he will take it to a local shop for a "professional" cleaning....or is that clean out (as in your wallet).

You followed carbs 101 in 6 hours? Sure you did.

You followed carbs 101 in 6 hours? Sure you did.

It could be done....if you follow just Carbs 101, are extremely motivated, have every tool you need on hand and laid out and don't have any problems or break anything at all along the way.

Now to do it right....



-----Side note: Last time I checked Carbs 101 it makes no mention of soaking the carbs, just fishing line/carb tools and spray cleaners. Perhaps someone should/could make a revision?
