Okay, and your letting it warm up before you play around with the low speed idle jet I assume.I will try to get a video tomorrow
I have it in an enclosed 55 gallon trash can. I have had it on ear muffs but the same issue.
I will set everything to what the book says to. I would line the cam roller up between the two marks but it won’t kick over. Then I would turn the throttle plate screw in a few turns where the cam roller is just past the second mark. It will then start, then I would adjust the idle speed screw starting at 1 1/2 turns then adjust it tell it sneezes then turn back a quarter of a turn.
Seems to be idle good put as soon at I go up on the throttle it starts to die. To me it’s seems that it’s not getting the right air to fuel mixture or the timing just doesn’t stay. I have messed with the air intake and fuel so many times.
But there is not much to timing on these things. It does seem to me that the throttle cam plate sticks, when I loosen the screw all the way out seems like it won’t move all the way back with it.
Hope this makes some since
Other than components like reed valves and such it sounds fuel related. When you rebuilt the carb how bad was it inside?
Did you clean every passage ways completely?
In the carb throat at the top is two or three tiny holes. When the carb is off and you turn it upside down I pour carb cleaner in there and see if it drains down those holes. Tough to know if those are clean.
I recently worked on one and when I pulled the carb it was missing it's nozzle. It looks removable but it's not.
Is your bowl plastic on that engine?
Any pictures of the carb when you worked on it.
I use welding tip cleaners when I take carbs apart.
