I have included some photos below for reference.
The engine runs perfect without the air cleaner cover on. If I remove the cleaner and put the cover on the engine chugs and eventually stalls. Take the cover off and the engine runs perfectly.
There was really only one way to reinstall the air cleaner assembly and spacers and I am quite sure I have them on correctly. I stand to be corrected though.
I have also made sure the 2 gaskets between that surround the spacer which joins the carby to the manifold are properly mounted. I am not sure if incorrect mounting could cause this problem.
There is what I am pretty sure is a mixture screw on the side of the carby. I returned it to the original setting after cleaning and when the engine was running adjustment made no noticeable difference.
An important note � before I pulled it down it ran really rich like it was on choke and wouldn�t really rev up. After cleaning and re-assembly with the air cleaner off it works perfectly��.
Look forward to your comments.
