Carby engine wont run without choke and advice for a new carb

[Shawnandkate8]

couldnt be bad gas or a clogged filter considering its the first time i run it and i went to te gas station to get new gas but ill try tuning the carb, thank you for the advice

Yea you’re right. Clogged filter or bad gas wouldn’t make it run to rich.

Sur la vanne à pointeau, il y a un clip "C" qui est dans l'une des 5 positions sur cette vanne à pointeau.

Commencez par placer le clip en deuxième à partir de l'encoche supérieure.

Assurez-vous que le flotteur n'est pas coincé/lié et qu'il n'y a pas de fuite de carburant à l'intérieur du flotteur.

Nettoyez ou remplacez la bougie et l'écart à 6 mm.

Assurez-vous de resserrer les quatre boulons à tête à un équivalent métrique de 12 pieds-livres, ce qui correspond également à 144 pouces-livres en mesures anglaises pour éliminer la possibilité d'un moteur en marche pauvre.

I can only remember what a little of that's saying. I can get the jest of it though. Been 20 years since I spoke french.

I haven't used mine all that much since my high school days...thats like 50 years ago...lol...it got drummed into me along with a few other languages as well.

Hoping my french syntax wasn't too rusty for him to understand the carby tuning instructions, needle valve position float, etc. as well as reminding him to retorque his head bolts and to convert either foot or inch pound measurements i gave him to his metric equvalents.

He was running about 60 miles (100km) but would only run on full choke so im assuming he may well have never retorqued his head periodically resulting in a possible super lean situation that prevent starting or running without choke full on.

Also instructed him to inspect spark plug and clean but better to just replace and gap at 6mm,(.025)...DAMIEN

thank you i did all that, cant run it until the week end but it should probably work, i also noticed most of the parts on the carb were pretty loose so i tightened everything up. it should work nicely now.

i was also thinking of running it with nitromethane mixed in the gasoline, any advice for that ?

Check out my nitropropane post. Nitromethane does not mix with gas. Use nitropropane instead. It is 70% the power of nitromethane and used as rocket fuel.

I love my nitropropane bike, the exhaust smells like race day.

Ok i quickly looked at it, it seems fun the only problem is i have no idea where to get nitropropane

Brand name Klotz is what I use. I believe it's world wide. Is a racing fuel. Google koltz nitropropane with koolinol.

I get it off ebay. Its about 90 bucks a gallon, but you mix. So the amount you get out of it will differ from me. I use 16 oz a gallon and am moving up to more slowly to find my max.

thats pretty expensive ill try to get some later, do you know if you can mix nitromethane with E85 ethanol and will it run in a 2 stroke ? that would be way cheaper
