Re: Trouble Shooting & Need Help
There are jets in the carbs that need to be sure they are clean.everything you are pointing to screams dirty carbs.
Machinists wire, small drill bits can be used to clean out jets, if you do not have the tool to remove the jets. some people remove them, some do not, be advised if you try to remove the jets and break it you will need to find new carb.
turn your carb upside down and look at your float, should be even with the body, this is how you set the float level, maybe a tad bit upward level to be on the safe side.
soak your carbs in cleaning solution, napa has carb cleaner in a gallon can, with tray, expensive but best around, ( i tried everything else before I paid there prices)
Get them carbs cleaned good, replace gaskets, install with new gaskets on the manifold, do a link n sync after installation, check your timing, faq sections has the directions for timing setting without running the engine.
If you do not have a manual get one, save you hundreds in repairs you can do yourself.
As stated before, if TashaDaddy's says you need to do something to get your engine going again, follow his advice, he is usually dead on the problem.
any more questions or advice come on back and someone will reply, remember you are the eyes and ears so what info you give will help in the replies.
