Let me share with you my woes … Bought an engine from a “real good guy.” Nothing he said about the engine to this point has been true ie thaty he replaced water pump just tuned, carbs cleaned etc ….
I bought an electro static cleaner for the carbs. Did those until you could eat out of them. Checked the tubes b/c everyone talks about cracks. Put them back together. Set the various screws to where they were when I took it a part.
Balanced the carbs to within a hair of their lives with my manometer.
Great idle, but when run-up it would die. So, I started backing out the mixture screws. It got better and better and then kinda not so much. I was making the adjustments on the water and running it up after each 1/8 turn out.
What is the starting point on the number of turns out on the screws? AND am I barking up the right tree? Thanks Scott
