Re: Popping carb
Have you thought about doing a compression check?

Re: Popping carb
Thanks for all the good suggestions. This afternoon I worked with it some. I disconnected the wiper and plugged the hole on the intake, ran it and still did it. Checked all around for a vacuum leak and no luck.. Took the carb apart and found nothing unusual there. It does have ball valve instead of a stock needle valve. It has all new gas lines but I haven't thought to check the fuel flow. I'll have to look at that next. Thanks again!

Re: Popping carb
I did a compression check right after I brought it home 3 years ago. Since it hasn't been run more than an hour or so I haven't went back and checked again. I don't remember the exact numbers but they were even on all cylinders.

Re: Popping carb
Well it looks like Dick M may have the winning solution! After checking everything out I looked at the gas flow. All new lines from tank to carb and the gas just barely trickles out. I've checked the fitting positions and they look proper. The only piece I didn't change was the shutoff valve. Looks like I'll be draining the tank and checking that out. Thanks again for your suggestions!
I'll let you know what I find. |
