[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 617583, member: 13810"] First, I’d check your fuel supply to the carb. Take out the rotor button and pop the cap back on tightly. Pop the fuel pipe off from the carb and lay it into a large one or two litre water bottle about an inch or so and lay the bottle on its side. Instruct your glamorous assistant to crank it over while you hold the pipe in the bottle. On vinegar stroke, the spurt should be hitting the bottom of the bottle and bouncing about inside the bottle. If it is, then it’s after this bit and probably your carb, if it’s weak then it’s a blockage before this bit or a poor fuel pump slowing the supply. This way you can find fault or eliminate your fuel supply. It sounds to me though that there is air getting in there somewhere possibly in the manifold set up ? Or gasket issues.? Ozziedog,,,,,,,keep us posted. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
