Valves were adjusted head bolts checked...?

Compression checking is on the horizon perhaps...

i adjusted the valves about 100 miles ago. dont know about the head bolts. and i dont have a compression tester any other ideas?

Double check the valves and put a wrench on the head bolts while your in there just to be certain.

A poor test (but somewhat helpful) of the compression can be done with the spark plug out. Put your thumb over the hole and have a buddy crank the engine. If it is good(ish) you will not have a prayer keeping your thumb over the hole. If you can there's your problem. I assume its bogging just off idle?? Adjust that carb before you get into too much else get everything as right as you can and then we can go from there with more...

You can as well mention how you did fix it so people with similar issues can profit from this thread.

scootnwinn 03-19-2013 09:37 AM

Yes what fixed it?

i moved the fuel needle down a couple notches it was getting too much fuel and flooding. and adjusted carb. runs like new now. thanks.
