Starts first pull and ticks over no problems,if I increase the revs,it phuts and stutters,picks up and cuts out.
The compressions are good,and there is a new fuel pump on it.
I had the carb off and cleaned and used carb cleaner on it,set the bowl height,and the bowl cut off jet is clear and not sticking.
Have I maybe not set the carb up right?
It sounds like an ignition miss,but I'm not sure.
The engine hasn't many hours on it,and ticks over smooth and quiet.
The fuel setup has a manual primer for the carb(no solenoid)It seems to work,I can see fuel getting sprayed in when I prime it.
The cooling water is shooting out of the pee hole and is only luke warm.
Maybe I need to find out how to set the carb up?
Anyone got any ideas?
