- The problem occurs just as the carb leaves the idle circuit and goes onto the
- main circuit. If I nail it (I assume the power enrichment circuit cuts in)
- it doesn't pop. I cannot enrich the main circuit. I have already increased the
- stroke of the accelerator pump. If this is the correct problem area, what
- could be wrong with the carb that I missed rebuilding it (twice)?
-
- BTW, thanks to the folks that suggested a timing chain problem. I have gears.
