sj starting issues

[QuickMick]

out in left field, but have you unplugged your start stop switch and tried bypassing it?
One minute they are great, next minute they are broke.

$225 shipped

$50 more than new is not exactly cheap much less "real cheap".

yes both carbs had fuel dumped down, im at sea level with 145 mains and 120 pilots. the adjusters are are the same as before the changes, not quite sure off the top of my head. i dont think the key would be broken since it was running perfectly the day i took the motor out, i mean i guess there could be a chance but since it was running fine before

wait, is this the jetting your running? on stock 38's???

the 145/120 jet settings are for a single carb motor....



you need:

Main: 135
pilot: 70

1.5 turns on the high
1.25 turns on the low

stock spring and n/s




you had way too big a jetting in those carbs and its just wetting everything down.....

rejet, let the fuel evaporate from the cyl and she should fire right up..

did you have the carb manifold off? It could be a broken or badly seated reed...

For an enhancer??? Not cheap at all, much less real cheap. New ones can be had for a little over 150 shipped

Back on topic

until there sold out...hahah i was kidding anyway...i know new ones go for 250-269..but those few sites got em 170s 10% off. But they sell out quick

lol..you know, one night a couple of years ago we were trying to track down a problem of no spark...

we were using one of those things....


we pulled the ebox, fly, stator etc etc..checked the s/s switch and EVERHYTHING......

turns out the spark checker was bad!


moral of the story...when you have an absence of spark..check with a couple of different plugs and/or the spark checker to be sure!
