Got a free honda, needed a cmplete rear end. Rear end all together, drove it around for a while, but the only problem was, that I had to run it with the choke closed. New problem. Bought a carb rebuild kit. (had old old fuel in it and smelled like turpentine) Also bought carb parts cleaner (the gallon jug to soak in) The good news is the carb looks brand new. The bad news is I can't keep it running. It will fire up and run only if I keep throttle in it. The second I let off, it dies. It does this no matter how I adjust the screws. It does it very consitantly, the same way every time, no matter how I adjust them. On initial start up, it has to be in choke to start, once it starts, I can open the choke, but it takes more throttle action to keep it running. There is no idle at all. I tried both the new jets and the old jets (cleaned), same thing. There is fuel in the bowl. Floats operate freely and new float valve installed. (old one looked like crap. All new gaskets, all new adjustment screws, new needle jet set etc...
Altitude 4500' I hope I didn't ramble too much or leave out any info, but if you can help me, I can sure use it. Thanks
