    Gerry, I have replaced the plug twice: 1st Champion / 2nd NGK with same results. c) the extra rich A/F mixture is cooling the piston just as it's seizing. I’m not sure I posted this but when I decarbed the combustion chamber I measure the bore with my bore gauge in X and Y thru the Z...

    Gerry, The cat better run for the hills. I have been through the carb 3 times with a fine tooth comb. People on this sight have tutored me on what to look for as far as obstructions or restriction in flow. I soaked the carb in cleaner overnight, blew out every orifice with compressed air...

    Gerry, You ask a good question! “I didn't see asked is whether, as it is stalling, if you have tried choking it, and what the results of that were.” That is one thing I have not tried in the past but did try this morning. As the engine starts to stall at ¾ throttle and I choked it, the...

    Gerry, Removed carb and breather cover to access valves. Rechecked valves .009" intake/.018" exhaust. Lifters are free. I rotated both several times no binding. I then gently grasp the valve keeper washer with pliers and could also rotate the spring, valve, and keeper washer as a unit. I...

    Mike, I have M.M. oil in my garage. How would you recommend applying it? Gerry, As the engine dies with the timing light hooked up, I have fire even as the engine reaches very low rpm. Additionally, I can view through the throat of the carb fuel being atomized at an even rate. Dave, Thank...

    Dave, Yes, I removed the gas line from the carb and let it run into a clear plastic container. The flow was unimpeded and no debris was visible. The gas cap was on during this test. I thought I had posted the results earlier, guess I was mistaken. Jerry, I have the thick gasket between...

    Dave, I’m back from my sabbatical. I tried your recommendation. Disconnecting the + side of the battery cable and attaching a jumper cable. I then attached a 12 gauge wire to the + side of coil to the + side of battery. Next I took the battery cable and touched it to the + side of the...

    Don, Just for clarification, you are referencing the safety swith on the foot pedal, right? I will jump across the switch and let you know.

    Dave and Harry, First of all, thank you both for the help! I will try the electrical check tonight per your suggestion Dave, as you said "brake on". Just as a refresher, I have changed points, condensor, plug, coil, decarbed head, set valves, check compression(90-95 psi knowing it has ACR)...

    Hey Dave, Sorry I couldn't respond earlier...busy day. OK, I went through all of your recommended steps with my carb in a very methodical manner. I can squirt carb fluid though the lower small hole of the main jet needle and have good flow to the larger holes in the needle. Removed elbow and it...

    Hey Dave, Pulled my high speed needle out to make sure all six holes (not 4, I was mistaken) were clear. I can squirt carb cleaner in any of the holes and see fluid coming out the other holes. I drained a couple of qts.from the fuel tank, no water or debris evident. I turned the engine over by...

    Dave, I think I have four very small holes in the high speed needle which I have sprayed carb cleaner in. I noticed when I sprayed in one I could get a spray of cleaner though the other three but I will recheck per your method. Turn the motor by hand after it dies, what am I looking for...

    Dave and Dennis, I am not experiencing hunting problems and the carb reponds to adjustment at low and high speed. I have checked the fuel flow by running the fuel into a clear container. Good flow and no water or debris. I will check again tonight. The curious thing is I have run the engine on...

    Matt, I have played with setting of the float level to see if I could influence the proble to no avail. I have the float set a 11/64". What about the play in the throttle shaft? How much before you start to have a problem? Ideas?

    Luther, I am convinced this is not electrical. It screams fuel starvation. I have sprayed starter fluid in the throat of the carb with the air cleaner off as the engine dies and can get the engine to respond (increased rpm) but can not sustain this condition but for seconds. What is puzzling as...
