Hi Grumpy,hope your ready for this..
In previous post i had the motor running with the governor linkage connected and ran good.. Now it wont run at all even if i give it a bit of choke. With the governor linkage removed it will run with partial choke, coughing spluttering and spitting ( felt one on my hand ). I did give it a tap with my rubber hammer, didnt make any difference. Talk about one step forward three steps backwards. Your not wrong about them being evil carburetors, its testing my patience really well.
Didnt play with the carby until we got to that part, and i always lightly lift the floats up a couple of times just to make sure there are no sticky points in any of the mechanism and yes i always hold carbys upright, unless dismantling them.
After trying all this while sitting there deciding the fate of the motor i did notice that between the two halfs of the carby, were the gasket is, there were small air bubbles popping out and when i wiped it with my finger, you guessed it, fuel. I am guessing this could be a slight bit of my problem.
