Hello all... I'm having a problem keeping my 200s running when it gets hot. Let me tell you all I have done so far.
-Carb
-cleaned with carb cleaner and compressed air- Multiple times
-rebuild kit- replaced pilot screw, float needle, spring, o-ring, and washer, and O-ring to manifold
-I could tell that it was running rich by the plug (it was wet) so I have the pilot screw 1 full turn to 3/4 turn out
-replaced low speed circuit jet- brand new
-I need to do the Barnett float height test with the clear tubing- I'll do that tonight
-Electric
-Brand new spark plug- spark looks weak- hardly noticeable in the dark
-replaced the coil
-stator I have not tested yet. Not sure how to. I have a multi-meter. Can anyone explain how to do it, and what values I should be reading? I have read in other threads that sometimes they get water and other crap up in there causing problems. Not sure if the stator would create my symptoms. I haven't pulled the fly wheel to look at it yet, but I can tell you when I got this this trike there was mud in every imaginable crevis. I'm just thinking, when one pulls the fly wheel how do you get it back on and lined up properly? Is there a woodruff key or something?
-Compression
-Haven't taken a reading yet but it feels good
:wondering Symptoms :wondering
It starts, no choke needed. Idles ok then begins to rev up. Almost like its getting lean. Then it begins to back fire (no apparent leak at exhaust manifold). I'm able to blip the throttle to keep it alive. As the engine gets hotter and hotter I have a harder time keeping it going. It wants to stall. Every second it begins getting less responsive to my throttle blip until it dies and I cannot get it started again until it cools down and I drain the bowl and start over again. I have made multiple adjustments to the pilot screw. When it's running it seems to run best at 1 turn out. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'll be doing the Barnett test tonight. I'm beginning to think the float level may be to high and not allowing enough fuel to come back into the bowl at the rate it is being consumed..
Thanks all
