Is gas going to the carb from tank?

 

[2000customwarrior]

amazing compression, great spark, carb is not clogged anymore, but the spark plug is not getting wet, nor when i go to check the compression, nothing...

is your pilot screw 1 and a quarter turns out?

 

[2000customwarrior]

gotta be honest, no clue, where is it located?

 

[YAMAHAULER]

this is the bottom of carb


also what position is your Jet needle that is the needle that the throttle cable connects to in the top of carb

 

[2000customwarrior]

3rd notch, and idk about the screw, id have to look tomorrow at the screw.

Spray a lil 2+2 through the back of the carb & see if she fires.

If you pump the throttle to get the accel pump to spray gas into the intake, will it start? Sounds like something is plugged up somewhere. This is going to be really long, but, one area to look into is the pilot circut passageway (if I remember correctly) that can't be seen unless the slide/mainjet insert in removed. I'm talking about the gray Y shaped piece of plastic the the main jet screws into. To remove it, you will need a tamperproof torx driver (torx with a little hole in the tip). Once those 2 screws are removed (up top were the slid goes in), with the bowl removed, place the main jet tube flat on a work bench, and press down to push in out of the carb. DO NOT try to pull in up with pliers, it WILL break. Don't forget to spray the insert down with lube. Now, after all that you're probably hoping I've reached the point, well I have! lol. When you have the insert out inspect the 2 o-rings that are on it, they go bad and can plug up the passageway. And, if you look into the bore the insert goes into you will see the passage way I've been talking about. Remove the pilot screw and blow air in it's whole to get anything out of the passageway. Lastly when putting the insert back in, spray lube on the o-rings, or smear a very small amout of vasoline on them. If you don't they will either roll out of their groves, or get cought on the passageway you just cleaned. Hope that does it for you.

gonna be a complete newb right now, wtc is 2+2? ive used engine starter fluid straight into the motor.. sorry yall, still learning, but learning from the best

 

[2000customwarrior]

no it wont start like that, but acts like it wants to. My dad was working on the carb today, let it soak in some strong cleaner overnight, then tore it done and rebuilt it, but didnt have the tools to get to it, but i will go thru and get the carb off, but it may be friday or saturday before we find anything out

no new pics with the DG bumper and grab bar on yet?

 

[2000customwarrior]

i got them on the camera, i just gotta upload them when i get a chance, but it will be up soon, no worries

 

[akaguppy]

if she has spark and you sprayed starter fluid into the engine she should fire. sure you are not 180 out of timing?

 

[2000customwarrior]

[YAMAHAULER]
