Comments on plug color

The weird thing is it ran fine that lean and part of why I got confused was the idle circuit has an effect at top end when you look up some tuning procedures then the bogging would come back when I went up a size in pilot. I think the best time I had with my minkuni clone before I had to switch to this khlien clone was a 25 pilot and a. 65 main. Was a set up I found in on here then my carb went to crap because I lowered the float too much and it started dumping fuel.

Well looks like I'll be changing all the gaskets. Won't even idle with the air screw all the way in I had to turn in the idle screw all the way then out 1 1/2 and idles high tried turning it down and just stalls

Got a spare bottle and some water. Someone said soapy water will work for the crank case

I agree I don't follow tuning steps. It's cold today and it got a little worse went away once it got hot. Also started doing that popping sound when I opened the throttle just a bit until the engine start turning faster. Lost a little bit to 35-36 was my top to 37. Low speed was alot better though 10-15.

Follow the tuning steps... If it doesn't like the cold it's lean...

Forget what some other carb was tuned to... Clean your carb good so you know it's not a spec of dirt throwing you off and go by the procedure.. How the engine reacts is what matters the # anyone else uses is just a reference... Always start rich... The fuel has a lot to do with it... I won't run pump gas for this reason... I've had 60's cars that wouldn't run on pump gas... Depends on how old the tanks are...

Don't even need the soap, but a nice misty spray bottle helps saturate all the suspect areas.

So to the spray bottle out ran around the. Block to warm her all up. Took me a minute to find the leak cause it racing I'm my face but it's definitely the Reed plates screwed together I had this problem before when the rubber wore out I have them siliconed right now I have the high temp gasket maker so I'm going to do that

Where can I find the silicone tuning for the intake to. It's not what's causing it but it still getting old.

I use the same gas every time. It's the Reed though the rubber spacers went bad awhile ago so I replace it with what I could. Which is some .5 paper gaskets and silicone. I have high temp gasket makes so I'm going to take it apart clean it up polish it and then seal it all together. My exuast gasket is shot anyway. So I have to take that back off and seal it back together with high temp.

I appreciate the help
