I have a std carb that I cleaned meticulously and put a kit in, all new jets gaskets etc. i have adjusted the float level to what it says in the manual, which is a bit ambiguous, but basically set it at where it seems right and it runs as if, to my limited experience, the idle circuit is not working. It basically will only idle with the idle screw in as far as it will go, at which point it is probabaly idling on the main jet only. Then if I turn the fuel off it will get to a point where it starts to rev up a bit and then if you give any throttle the revs will hang high and very shortly die altogether as the fuel gets too low.
So I have tried it running on about 4 different settings with basically the same result. I have used the clear hose method as well with the fuel level anywhere from 3-0mm below gasket surface.
OK, so I have tried a different carb, as I have 2 bikes the same, a brand new chinese one on the bike and it ran perfect. The original carb ran the same way on the other bike so I am convinced it is neither fuel or ignition. Any ideas or should I just give up and buy another chinese carb? Seems a shame as I was hoping to keep it as original as possible. Thanks in advance, Al
