Been fooling with this stupid thing for hours now, and wanting to hear the 3WW experts help out now.
Basically it either idles great for 10 seconds, then dies, or it idles high and then dies out. If I flip the choke on it revs up pretty high. I've moved the clip all up and down on the needle, but each giving a different result that is not a good idling bike that revs all the way up cleanly.
When I get it to rev up it pops and spits at about 3/4 throttle. I've already tried to check for air leaks on the intake. Nada, and the funny thing is that this carb has worked perfectly before with another engine.
What could it be? Pilot jet? Too big of a main jet? Maybe I just need to buy another ebay special? Anybody know where I can get a Honda genuine carb that will work? I hate these chinese carbs sometimes...
EDIT
any opinions on a Mikuni 24mm carb? Has the same intake bolt spacing, so it should bolt right on...
