So, My ALT finally starts,and rides pretty nice. Few bugs to work out an could really use help findin some parts if i cant mcgyver what i have?? Rather do it right,but i know somethings just off a bit. I feel it. So got the timing chain right,i think? Starts real easy. Dont even gotta prime. Primer diaphram has pinholes. Couldnt find at first but persistance paid off. I did somethin i wont mention to keep gas from leakin out weep hole so i could work on it safer. Cleaned carb 5 times now,still cant get it to an even idle without choke pulled at least a lil? After lubricating,choke lowers itself as bike heats up?? Doesnt go all the way down,but close. I can get it to idle with choke off,but it seems good for a sec,a lil uneven,some sputter pops(small) and chuffs from carb opening cus i havent put air cleaner boot back on. Would that help?? I do notice it runs different if u put fingers over hole,not blocking fully just some? It revs real high then i get scared turn back idle stop a lil it goes down a bit then tries to die,so i turn screw up a lil and it gets a ok idle then high rev after a sec?? Ive sprayed carb cleaner all over and nothin happens. I have throttle play at .5 in,about. Main throttle needle is on second notch from the top,havent tried movin it yet? Have valves guaged at.04 maybe a hair more. Thats what made it finally.had no gap...less. havemain adjust screw out 1+3/4 turns. The screw is new lookin,was no lil rubber seal,just a spring. Idle stop screw has rubber seal and spring,tip is kinda worn uneven slightly. All fuel lines are nee and clean,carbs super clean. Floats are measuring correct from edge of bowl. No petcock. And original fuel pump was replaced with a plastic one. I have ran the upper carb breather hose to the breather spot on the gas tank as book says? Had a screw in it originally. Now ignition coil. Sparkplug strong and gapped right. Not much else i can think of for all if checked? I did have to mend some wiring. No lights. Just cant get idle without the weird high rev,then sputtering an dyin with choke off? I have no clue how far in or out the idle stop screw should be about??? Wondering if i should go .05,.06?? With the valves? Or maybe timing chains one tooth off?? Therse some white smoke from tailpipe? A lil stinky. Comes and goes. Mostly when cold. Lil smokin from the fron exhaust,old oil that dripped in or on it. Was bad backfiring before i adjusted valves,but that was when it wouldnt start at all. Black backfires then. Chainged oil,lil white smoke now. Figure its normal,or will go away?? My honda stinks a lil too so?? Just not sure what to try now?? Wish there was someone in chico cali area that knows an wants to make a few bucks helpin me?? Aint got much but... i do tattoos?? Love fixin other peoples crap art? I might have somethin to trade?? Got a old galaxy s phone? A new iphone 4s im tryin to sell?? Fly fishing rods?? Lol !! HELP!!! IM A DESPERATE MAN!!! (Straight-married) not that desperate....i joke i joke.. anyways thats the downlow on this project. Need to get it done so i can start the next one. Want to convert one of them minimoto pocket bikes into a lil mini tuff 3wheeler,or drift trike?? Got the frame,forks,handlebars,pegs,welder,tools... just gotta figure a way. Got the will. Thanks. Hope for many replies?? Or one that solves prob. Ill be on ebay lookin fer a new primer and stuff. Peace.
