I took the carb off and cleaned it...again. I set the air and idle screws at 1.5 turns out. With the air filter OFF it runs great and even idles (it never would idle before). As soon as I install the air filter, I can not start it. What adjustment do I need to make to correct this? Also if it matters I am currently running the air filter dry for testing. I have not yet oiled it. Does this make a difference?
Second, I am leaking oil from the exhaust pipe flange. I will replace that flange asap, but before I do, am I okay to run it with that oil leak?
Last, since it runs fine once it is started does this means my
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition), flywheel key, and compression are ok?
Thank you all again :)
Lets take this one at a time:
1) As soon as I install the air filter, I can not start it ------ that tells me your compression is low and it don't matter if you oil the filter or not right now.
2) I am leaking oil from the exhaust pipe flange. I will replace that flange asap ----- some parts a very hard to find now after all these years.
3) am I okay to run it with that oil leak? ----- almost everyone's flange to pipe leaks and we all try to seal it with high temp silicone.
4) since it runs fine once it is started does this means my CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition), flywheel key, and compression are ok? ----- CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) is ok, flywheel key is ok, compression is not in my opinion since you can't start it without removing the air filter -- just my opinion so do a compression test.
5) I listened to that video and it don't say much, but you did try to rev it once and it sounded flat. Possible your pilot jet may be wrong or air screw setting is off. Hard to tell but you need a tach to set the correct pilot jet because you can't hear a couple of hundred rpm change on any two smoke. See pic.
