Where are the carb settings at the moment? are they in the factory positions?

 

yep @ factory settings.

 

okay.. let us know how it goes

 

steve, whip the air filter off and check how far open the carb is (should be about 1mm)

also, i found squirting a bit of fuel in to carb, helps the cappiliary action before the tank gets pressurised. (bit technical for first thing, i know)

 

First thing? that's a bit technical for you full stop

 

To add to that,

If the carb is closing up too much then you can adjust the throttle stop by the small horzontally mounted grub screw on the left had side of the carb body.

 

got an HNC in mechanical engineering mate and not afraid to use it

 

 

dont start me off on hookes law of elasticity or the coefficients of linear expansion, or H7-G6 tolerances, or the Iron/Carbon equilibruim diagrams.

- just dont!!

 

oh go on dazza..... im just a wannabe tin basher me..... sit in the office telling them to bash FFS....

 

Don't worry mate, don't really fancy a discussion on Linear Expansion or coefficients, keep it simple - if it works, don't fix it

 

not to mention exersion forces!

 

Anyway back onto the subject in hand....

Seems to me that not enough fuel is getting through now. You can prime the engine as much as you like and it DONT flood.... carb off time me thinks...

 

Is your low speed mixture screw set correctly?

Id richen the mixture before stripping it mate?

 

Whens the next meet, the Rev's gagging for another outing

Anyone meeting up tonight?

 

All settings AS factory double/triple checked.... still NOTHING.

Just taken the carb off and found one of the allen screws has stripped its thread.... never touched it myself..

Looks like i will need

 

Which screw.. the idle adjustment screw?

 

Rolling road in action :

 

hahahah excellent....

made by mr heath robinson, himself!!!!

nice work corni...

Dazza

 

nope the little same/similar to one in picture, goes below the high speed needle....

 

You mean the low speed mixture screw?

 

Nope the low speed is on the opposite side of the carb, this is like an allen key bung with an O ring fitted, anyway i had enough of trying to get it sorted now, gonna run it to heath's let them sort it....

 

Fair enough mate.. i mean you havent even used it so they should sort it FOC.

Let us know how you get on

 

Isn't that the whole point of a revo

 

Speccy doesnt have a REVO

 

My mistake, could have swore he had a revo when I went to watch them all the other day

 

Ha ha
