carb issues

[Jamerson Lamb]

Having carb issues was running fine then started acting up then spiting fuel out of the side of the carb

Check the banjo bolt holding on the high speed needle assembly and the fuel fitting.... common for those to loosen up a bit....

 

[Jamerson Lamb]

That's tight but the carb moves and the pinch bolt is tight

then it is more than likely the carb isolator has come loose.... take off the carb and clean the body and isolator (a small plastic ring) and reglue it back down with some epoxy...

 

[Jamerson Lamb]

Just took it off and looks like half the ring broke or came off

What kind of epoxy do you recommend

 

[Jam Racing 1]

AWWWWW Crap. well you can try to repair it with epoxy, if that fails you need a new carb....

just any 15 min epoxy will work ok

 

[Jamerson Lamb]

Ok thank you

what is the difference between to slide style carb and the rotary style

 

[Jam Racing 1]

That engine and linkage setup requires a slide carb to operate right.....
and a rotary carb probably will not flow the fuel needed for it to run reliably.....
