Carb issue I think

<< < (3/3)

GoneDirt:
i also noticed rust on the flywheel, not sure if that could effect the spark

justfreaky:
If you can pull the flywheel and clean it; I don't think it would hurt. The magnets on the flywheel are what trigger the spark.
Any idea of what your timing is set at?
Maybe a degree change in your timing would be a plus... I'm thinking around 8* to start. Don't really know!  ???
Restrictor plates will change your power band. My thinking  is : 1) make sure the plate is installed properly. 2) I am of the thought that maybe stock jets should do alright. I don't know anything about these engines; But... Are your carbs in sync? 3) You will have to gear differently. With these small engines, from what I have learned so far, momentum is what it's all about. The less you get on and off the throttle the better. Driver style change? Some are of the opinnion that it's about sliding through the turns. I'm inclined to agree because there is no front suspension. Ride heights may play a part in the handling. I know that doesn't help with engine hesitation.... Just thinking that you want the nose as low as you can get it. Let the right rear shock and spring take the brunt of the body roll and weight transfer so that it plants the right rear tire. As I have no real world experience with the Bando cars, these are only guesses on my part.

I haven't had a lot of time lately, but will try to do some research for you. Let me know what I can do to help.

GoneDirt:
an update on the problem, I took the engine to 600 and the motor was worn out , so we got a new engine,  Thanks for all the helpful input from everyone

justfreaky:
Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that it is an engine rebuild though!
Hopefully, that will keep you going for awhile though.

Best Of Luck!!!
