My engine is having a tough time at idle due to a lack of fuel the lower cylinder.
Here are the facts...
135 psi on top cylinder, 150 psi on bottom cylinder.
Spark present at idle
If I pop the choke several times the second cylinder will fire and the idle jumps up, way up!
If I feather my hand over the lower carb while running I can keep it at idle
Tore the carb off tonight and opened them up, cleanest carbs I've ever seen on a motor that sat for a couple years!
Needles move freely, floats set to level when inverted, passages all clear and clean.
I am considering a rebuild of the fuel pump?
Anything else I should look into?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
