Carb Rebuild Complete - Dies on throttle

[pete]

The 5k was basically at neutral.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my 1/4 throttle is 5,000rpm in neutral, then its 1/4 throttle regardless.
My point being, The only reason we use throttle position is to ensure that we inform people to open it at throttle for the selected gear they have...therefore, 5k rpm @ 1/4 throttle in neutral, is the same as having 3k rpm in 2nd gear at 1/4 throttle....

I just use RPM as indication of how how far I am opening the throttle in Nuetral..

I didnt pull any plugs...I ran all 4 plugs, and yes it was hella loud, but quite nice.
My neighbours love me (i am the resident IT guy, TV tuner, and dvd connector) so they put up with my nonsense! lol.

one more thing, wouldn't pulling the plugs throw the vacum out of whack?
Just a thought.

Hmmm... I'm confused by the above...

1/4 throttle is 1/4 throttle regardless of anything else... if you hold 1/4 throttle for a while, rev's will increase, but 1/4 throttle will still be 1/4 throttle...

What you're looking for is what the mixture looks like at 1/4 throttle, regardless of rev's... the same mixture is burning at 1000 RPM and 1/4 throttle as at 5000 RPM and 1/4 throttle... it doesn't change unless you change the throttle position...

Not sure on the vacuum comment, although that does make sense, but I don't know enough to know why that's still a valid test... HH is just a tad more experienced at this than I (who's done nothing but research)...

Oh one more thing,
I did a plug chop at 1/2 throttle earlier, plugs were a little wet. Not much, just a tad, so I will be dropping main jet down to 140.

Don't touch your mains, 1/2 throttle is purely needle

[oohsam]

Ok, if its needle then I'm gonna leave it run a little rich, as when the needle was one notch up, it was bogging down at 1/2 throttle, now it runs fine at 1/2 throttle.

Geez, who invented these carbs! So many components!

Go a half notch and you will be perfect.

[oohsam]

Half notch? How do you do half notch! hahaha...

With little bitty washers stacked on the clip. hahaha.

You speak truth my friend!
