Hi to all,
Firstly before I start about my carbie, I had my first post talking about kill switches. I was wrong I thought that they would do what I thought would be obvious and just interrupt the power flow, but they don't they short out the magneto. I don't want to install a toggle switch so I'll just cross my fingers that I don't have any trouble with mine.
Ok on my 48cc Zbox motor the motor runs well but even when it's hot you still have to have it at 3/4 choke if you move it from this position it will not idle and will run poorly. i have moved the needle to the richest notch, this doesn't seem to make much difference. I have checked for air leaks and I'm pretty sure there are none. I did have some trouble with the carbie at the start it would leak or drip petrol when idling I bent the brass forks down about 3mm to stop the bowl from flooding this has work as when I ride it now it doesn't leak. Because I only rode it once for about 20 mins and found out the carbie was leaking I took it home and made the adjustments to the float, but I think that on the first ride (before I made the adjustment to float) I was able to turn the choke off.
Question could it be that I have made the bowl level to low and I need the choke to help suck more petrol through???
At the moment having the choke at 3/4 it idles nicely and goes quite well, but if you bump the choke the motor will bog down.
I hope this all makes sense I'm trying to write this my 9 month old daughter is sitting on my lap screaming as she is hungry
Thanks Gilbert........
