Re: '97 115 won't idle and spits all of a sudden
Was just outside (in between rain showers) and ran it to get it up to temp so I could do a compression test, it fired right up and ran fine with the fast idle lever keeping it at about 1100-1200, sounds totally normal, once you pull back on the fast idle lever it drops to about 4 or 500 in that "notch" and you can hear it struggling, and then in Neutral it drops more and will idle, but just barely and definitely sounds like at least two cylinders missing.
I figured I'd pull the cover off the carbs so once it warmed up I could try spraying pre-mix down the carbs. After running for about 5 minutes I looked in the carb throats and there is greenish white milkshake looking stuff all inside the front of the carbs, which I know is oil mixed with water, it was actually dripping from the top of the inside of the carbs too.
Like I mentioned it is a rainy and really humid day here, is this just from the moist/humid air being pulled into the carbs when it's running and mixing with fuel being pulled into the carb throats? I should mention that I did not spray anything down the carbs, just letting it run and noticed this milkshake in the carbs. My next step is to dump my fuel/water separator and see what the fuel looks like.
What do you guys think about the greenish/white milkshake in the carbs? I can grab a pic if it will help.
Thanks.
