Re: fitted new ig coil but stiil no good
From the model number, its' an 81'.<br /><br />From the symptoms you describe, (plugs carboned up and races a bit and dies) you have a fuel problem, likey to much fuel. When an engine gets to much fuel, it bogs a little. Take the fuel flow away and as the bowls run down on fuel the air catches up....you get a "racing" of the engine just before it dies because it's leaning out. Did you check the float height when the carbs were apart? Also, carbs may look clean but passages can be blocked without you seeing it. Best advice, if you have a carb apart, soak it out and rebuild with new kit. Setting the float level is easy....with the needle valve and float in place, invert the carb. The float should set level with the float bowl gasket surface. Adjust the float tang to get this setting.
