Re: Carb experimentation, cold start issues.

Port timings are:
exhaust 171
transfer 135
blowdown 18.24
inlet 140
I made the mistake of going with an SR kit as readily available here but had to do a lot of work with base spacer and skimming the top of the cylinder to get these.

Re: Carb experimentation, cold start issues.

The tuner doesn't think it's spark related as it starts and runs fine other than once a day. I'm wondering though if the spark is marginal and just not enough for the most difficult start of the day. The stator is an mb 12v electronic and considered switching to a vape with added benefits of better ...

Carb experimentation, cold start issues.

I have made various posts previously regarding starting and spit back issues which I never completely resolved. I came across a guy who is a very experienced go-kart tuner and be volunteered to help.

He brought a carb over to try and did a trial set up. It certainly starts very easily and revs well. Didn't ride as didn't fit throttle cable etc. A few ...

Re: Why?????,this is doing my head in.....

You might want to look at the thread I started on "normal spitback" mine is very sensitive to the intake even to the extent that just adding a a hose, never mind a filter, affects its performance.

Re: Stand feet pins coming out.

Thanks, will give that a go. Although most of the pins I used were stainless and I wondered if that was OK, I did try some normal steel ones and they fell out too!
Wonder why people sell the stainless pins !!
