I recently purchased a lund with the stated motor on it. I have been having some issues with it. The motor had the plastic carb bowls which I removed and replaced with the new aluminum ones. While they were out I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs. This solved the problem of gas leaking out of the bowls but didn't fix other issues.
Problem: 1. the engine is a little tough to start, I have to move the throttle to a pretty high idle while bumping the enrichment on the key to fire the engine and slowly move it back to a reasonable high idle. Once it is warmed up I have to keep bumping the enrichment for it to go into neutral and then into gear. This is about a 10 min process to keep it running. It stumbles a little in gear at low rpms but is solved by the enrichment button. Once it gets to a higher rpm it runs like a champ and will idle just fine. If I turn the key off it'll fire back up without issue.
2. if I stop to fish for maybe 45 min I need to do the whole process over again, I can't just turn the key on a warmed up engine and go.
Any suggestions on what to do? I noticed when the carbs were off the sleeve on the throttle roller has fallen apart so I have one on order. I am getting a manual from my local library to look up the link and sync process. I am also going to borrow a compression gauge to check compression. Any other suggestions, do I need to try to clean the carbs again? Does it sound like a compression issue?
