I have a single cylinder sachs motor in my Amphicat. I just rebuilt the carb. It will run great when you first start. I drove it around a while made a couple carb adjustments to the high because it wouldn't open up. I let it idle a few minutes the. Drove it more. The. It died an the motor was so flooded with gas that I had to pull the carb an pull it a few times to get the gas out. I let it sit a while an out the carb on. It still won't start this is the second time it's done this. Any ideas?
Ok so I went over everything again still floods very easy. My question is this, my gas tank is in the front under the dash when I turn the gas on a stream will come out of the other end. I have a diaphragm carb could this extra pressure of gas be too much for the carb to handle?
Is there a return line? Maybe its plugged? I think the extra pressure would be fine. I dont know a lot about the 2 strokes or I would help more. Sounds like your close though!
Yeah there is a return line. I already checked that though an blew it out with air. It's all clear. On the original set up the gas line goes up to the dash to the shut off then down. Idk if that's a problem or not. I broke that shut off an just put a regular shut off under the tank
Is it gravity feed or does it have a pulse tube? What kind of carb? Your problem may be the reeds in the intake, if it has em. Make sure they aren't bent and that your float isn't sticking. You may also want it see how far the float opens. I had this problem with my carb.
Argo+2stroke Kohler=Failure
I hate math
Yeah I seen your post I Think I relied to it first. No it's not gravity feed or not supposed to be there is a lot of gas flow. It's a tillotson HR carb with a pulse hose hook up. I just rebuilt the carb an even tried a different HR carb. Same problem. No reed valves either. Everytime i think it's fixed it something else. I'm running out of ideas
