Wild wolf 295

Replaced the coil and condenser. still dies after 10 to 15 minutes of idle time. I guess I'll replace the coil by the points next. It did seem to idle fine till I tried to put it in gear and drive it. Then no spark. No pinched wires that I can see

That was on my mind but I've been away from those engines 20-25 years.

Replaced the condenser. Didn't fix it

[ARGOJIM]

Now runs great. Until engine gets warm. Maybe 5 minutes. then it dies and no spark. Could the new coil be breaking down. the coil doesn't feel hot to the touch. Let it cool and engine fires right back up and runs great again.

Th coil could be faulty but unless you found an NOS condenser I'd lean that way from what I hear.

I did replace the carb BTW. I put a new Mikuni on it.

Well it runs but floods out pretty quick. Fouls the plug (wet) fuel runs out of the exhaust too. I'm assuming a carb problem. Could it be the floats?

What carb do you have on it?

[507rzr]

It's got what I assume is the original mikuni on it now. I took carb apart. One of the float pins is missing.

What carb is on it, mikuni, tillotson, walbro? I assume mikuni, James gerber mentioned stuck or saturated float on first page. If mikuni what size?

These guys are pretty good at diagnosis with enough information.

40:1 with a good synthetic: Klotz Amsoil or Belray are all good

[507rzr]

So what fuel mixture are you guys running in the JLO? 20:1 is definitely too rich. I'm fouling plugs within a minute or so.

[smudvapor]

That is great! I am so glad you got it running! Post some pics or a video when you get a chance.

Well the coil fixed it. I actually drove it for the first time tonight. Got some adjustments to do but I'm happy that it can move on it's own. Thanks for all the help and advice. I'm sure more will be needed in the future.

Had an old ignition coil laying around from an old three wheeler. Adapted it to bolt up and wire up. It runs believe it or not. Got a new coil ordered. Not real sure how to test a coil but just because you have spark does not mean that it works correctly I guess.
