I have been trying to solve a long term problem with my solex 44pai carburetor. The symptoms are these: the engine starts up and will rev up in neutral easily while cold, but does not like to rev from 1000 to 2000 rpm in gear (engine stalls) until it is fully up to temp (180-190 on the gauge), if it stalls in this manner it will usually not want to start for 5-10 minutes which I believe indicates that it is flooded and there seems to be no way to get it to start (tried cranking with the throttle wide open). I believe this is probably an accelerator pump problem but am hoping somebody might be able to tell me some tests or what to try next. I have also thought I might try changing the idle mixture settings and see if it helps. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
