Hey Guys!
I semi-restored my JT1 (1972 Mini-Enduro 60) and after rebuilding the
carb the bike just doesn't want to run well. I'll nut-shell it in a
minute but here's a link to a video of the problem:
It will start but wants to die if I don't keep the gas on. Also, when
I do hit the gas the response isn't very crisp. The air screw is
adjusted per the manual and I have new jets (OEM). Also, there isn't
an adjustable float and the ball in the carb bowl tested good at
assembly. Using the choke does aid in starting but more often than
not I have to twist the throttle wide open to get it to go. (Like
when you crash and your 2stroke gets flooded). Also, I did get a bit
of gas out of the overflow today which really shouldn't happen. I
would think that this is a byproduct of a bad float in the bowl but it
did look okay when tested. (I guess I coulda missed something
wrong...).
Anyway, if ya have a little time please take a look at the youtube
video and listen... maybe someone with a better mechanical mind and
more experience can suggest the probable cause by hearing the
engine???
Thank you for any help you can give!!!
