The saga continues. Thought I was in the end-game of this rebuild but still struggling getting the motor to stay running. Motor will turn over and run for about 15 -20 seconds and then will just die. Have already replaced fuel pump, and rebuilt carb. Slow speed needle has been set in accordance with the info on the threads on this site. How can I tell if I am too lean or too rich? Can't seem to get the right combo of throttle, choke and carb settings. Also, the slow speed knob on the stbd side of the motor is gone. I can see there is a cam which appears to rotate the armature plate. Will this position impact the ability of the motor to idle without dying? Can't find anything about it in my service manual.
Thanks
