hi

my 918 blade has some carb problems it runs a bit rough

new plugs are going in tomorrow thats fair enough


the engine has been standing for a long time

Ive took the bottom of the carbs apart and there pretty much spotless

however problem 1 the mixture screws have been sheered off by someone before and they are seized solid Ive tried extractors they wont grip the brass ??

secondly when you run the engine two of the carbs seem to spray the fuel in nicely

one of them dribbles it in

and the other one seems to spray 50% more than the others ie TO much!

where shall I start

ta chris

'ow much are blade carbs off ebay?




Might be an easier fix!

Mike

Chris, for a quick fix try Malc at Yorkshire Engines, he had loads of carbs for sale not so long back.

Phil

ok ta will do

Possible a gummed up jet needle (I can never remember which way round needle jets and jet needles go).

But as said, if Yorkshire Engines have a set its probably cheaper than the repair job.

Can I have your old set of plugs

Yep, I agree I had this myself after hitting that car at the track, engine sat around for 6 months just take plenty of time to run it in (i.e. rake it plenty) and it will probably un-block itself.

cheers

Having said all, that don't rake it enough that you blow your exhaust system apart with unburnt fuel!


Don't post when you're pissed eh?
