1973 with fuel / carb problems
Posted: September 25th, 2010, 7:56 pm
Hi all...had our '73 out today with the wheel kit and my son ran it for about 20 minutes until it bogged.
I cleaned the fuel shut off valve which was a bit gunked up. Fuel is flowing down the line, but slowly. It will now start only by me pouring fuel into the cylinder, then dies again.
A couple things:
- the springed pin in the top of the carb is all the way up, and pulls all the way out of the carb when lifted out (shouldn't this be held in?)
- the adjustment screws were "messed with" by my 8 year old when I went in the house (he thought he was helping!)
Can anyone give me help on both of these? I'd like to know about the pin in the tp of the carb, and also how to re-set the adjustment screws on the carb.
Thanks
