I'm afraid I may have to put heat to them. I'm hoping not for the paints sake. I've come to the realization that ever k series carb I have is in need of major overhauling. I tried mis matching enough carb parts to get it running but nope no run. Just alot of wasted gas and effort. You try the Hillman washers yet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #82 Posted August 21, 2023 I finally had a moment to work on this little guy again. The throttle shaft had alot of play in it so I spun out a bushing for it. I have gas and fire with a jumper. It will start with a squirt of starter fluid then die. When trying to start with just the carb all it does it buck to starter. I was thinking a stuck valve 🤔, but it starts with a shot. I know I'm over looking something, but what 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be the ignition timing is off or you have a condenser that has gone bad, time for an ignition tune-up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If an engine idles well, but runs erratically when revved up, like it hits and misses, pops and backfires, then chances are, it needs a new condenser/capacitor. And always install a condenser/capacitor with the wire facing downward so rain water and/or when washing off engine, water will not enter inside condenser/capacitor, ruining it. With water inside the condenser, this will also allow it to idle well, but cause it to run erratically when revved up. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
