I've finaly got my restoration done but still having problems getting my motor to purr. I cannot get it to idle smooth below 900-1000rpm's while in a test tank. Idle time should be 5 ATDC but it struggles after 0 degrees. Ive done the carbs, fuel pump,new plugs, stator and trigger, rectifier, switch box. When I picked this motor up it had burned wires from the stator to the rectifier so i decided to replace everything and keep the parts that were still good as spares but only the switch box checked out good.
Ive been trying to set the ide mixture and timming but not getting rpm's low enough. it also stalls when shifting if my rpms are below 1000 (a little hard on my gears). The mid and high range are fine, infact I'm planning at 30mph but hitting 6300 and have to back off until i fine tune my prop selection.
where to go from here?:facepalm:
