Setting timing and Carb

<< < (2/2)

calvynandhobbs:
I don't know much about carbs and getting them set, otherwise I'd try to stop by to help you. I can't even get the carb on my moped to play nice anymore and it's supposedly simple.

JSchwinn:
timing is now set and engine is running well. thanks guys

Big Chuck:
What did you end up doing?

JSchwinn:
followed the directions lol, I wasn't using the right mark on the balancer so timing was too far advanced.  The method I used was to remove the #1 plug and put a napkin over the hole and turned the engine by hand.  During the compression stroke the napkin was shot out and the mark on the balancer was right about at TDC so I put it to TDC installed the dizzy to the #1 plug and it was close enough to get it running and I adjusted it by hand till it ran well. 

Of course because nothing is ever easy I went to press the clutch down the pivot ball and spring decided to fall out....  so now I am pulling the tranny to set them back in place..... not very happy

Mr Rock:
Glad you got it running but bummer on the clutch fork!
