So today after putting the carburator together and putting the additional filter the engine run much better. It actually run good and i was able to settle it at around 800-900 rpm.
but it did not last too long. after it wormed up I took it for a test drive and when I came to a stop and took my foot of the gas the engine died.
then to start it i have to litterely flood it for it to turn and run. Its very sensetive and when its ideling at around a 1,000 rpm it dies after a minute or two.
what bugs me is the fact that it used to run just fine before it was laid to rest for that year and a half.
any other suggestions?
shuld I look into the distributor or coil?
