Re: Erratic problem
KIWI, I just saw your post. My problem has still been coming and going. But I have narrowed down the cause, but not the fix. I was thinking that I had a fuel or electrical problem. But earlier this...

Re: Erratic problem

Re: Stainless steel(rusty)
Iron dilution causes rust on stainless - using a wire brush, steel wool, etc. will impart little iron particles that will rust. Use a stainless steel wire brush, scotch brite, etc. Or I believe...

Re: Is Zink necessary ?
I use nothing but Brad Penn or Joe Gibbs. Both make oil specifically for motors with flat tappet cams. No mixing, no guessing. You can get them at any speed shop. All of the "new" oils have reduced...

Re: Erratic problem

Re: Erratic problem
MMO did not cure the problem. BUT, after all that I have done to try to fix this, the problem seems to have diminished. Once in while, while under power, it does a quick litle "buck" and then goes...

Re: Erratic problem
When I turn on the fuel pump it does not leak down the throat of the carb, nor out the base. I did vacuum time it. It seems that timing helped but did not fix the problem. Tomorrow morning I will try...

Re: Erratic problem
I took the mechanical pump out of the circuit to make sure that it was not part of this problem. I changed all the flexible lines (including the one coming out of my fuel tank) to fuel injection hose...

Re: Scammer in FL
You have to watch them on craigslist too. I don't give any of them my credit card #. I won't buy if I can't see it with my own eyes. I learned the hard way. With both craigslist and Ebay.
