Ok so I have a fairly new carb rebuild kit installed (less than a year old) and it hasn't ever been tuned properly. I'm trying to get it ready for spring but every time I start it, it will run for 2-3 seconds and die. If I turn the idle up, the revs will sky rocket and it runs a few more seconds and dies. After it dies, it will not restart unless I choke it. Once the engine warms up it idles a little better but still not consistently.
What I've tried...
I've gotten one of the JRE tuning plates to adjust the pop off from max to min with no real change.
I have an older spare fuel pump...no change.
New needles and adjustment screws.
New fuel lines.
Tried clearing the internal fuel lines and vent lines but never found anything.
I replaced the following gaskets: carb, head, exhaust pipe, exhaust manifold, and intake manifold.
I have the gaskets for the entire top end but I'm not confident enough to replace the rest without detailed instructions.
Anyone have any suggestions?
