Not getting enough fuel to one cylinder at idle. Did all the normal tricks:
* checked idle jet (clean) * ran idle mixture screw in and out * removed idle jet and mixture screw and blew out * removed idle jet and "plugged the hole" with finger (this should give me a *very* rich mixture, only got down to 15:1 or so) So, it's time to pull the carb. I suspect something is blocking the mixture screw area... Of course I have a race this weekend. Sigh. |

Sounds like trash. PUll the carbs off and take the tops off, Clean out the carbs really good with water and purple. Make sure you blow out all the passages with compressed air. That shouldn't take but a couple of hours. Also check the valve adjust and check plug wires. If it has Bosch Plugs, that is part of the problem.
