My stock 02 with 5k on the clock was running fine six weeks before I parked it. Then I replaced the muffler, Emgo Dunstall Replica, put a 152.5 main, left the pilot at 52.5 and a half spacer in the carb, then a K&N drop-in air filter. at first it started fine, then it got slower, then stuttering, and of course stopped. Attempts to re-start wouldn't work. Rinning on prime, no help. When it did start I had it at full throttle only to get a steady but weak run from it. I did notice a little lite smoke (exhaust) chucked that up to new and needs idle reset. And that's my problem. I think the carb is flooding out and that I did something to the float. Can't set an idle that I don't have.
Did I mess up the float? No I didn't do anything to it. I remember someone suggesting lately to drain the carb and fuel from the tank because of Ethanol (I am almost certain that I don't use it in my gas) I drain some fuel; didn't see anything and it started right off. Idled fine then dropped off and I can't start it. Is something amiss in my carb.? No my vent tubes are not pinched. The float is my only guess. And I don't want to rip down the carb on a guess. The air flow should have made up for the change in extra fuel. I did have no spacer but when I opened the carb this time I decided that was too much fuel. I plan to set up the idle when I get it running. And while we are talking about it, Don't laugh, where do I hook up the tach to set the idle? I appreciate any help please.
