Hello Scooter Shack members, I am new to moped modding and don't know much about anything to do with bikes really but I am having an issue with my carb. I decided to clean it as it was looking very dirty and has been sitting for a year before purchase and all was running (ok) before I took it out (had an issue idling but still run if I held the throttle). I took it out and cleaned it up nicely and let it to dry before I put it back in. I done by best to put it back how it was (probably not correctly) and I'm now running into what looks like a huge fault. I have recoreded a clip of whats happening in slow mo and uploaded it to give you the best chance of helping me (MUTE THE SOUND ITS VERY LOUD AND DISTORTED) - Many thanks in advance
Your engine is flooding, badly. And possibly you just blew your crank seals out. And that carb doesnt look very clean :/ And... your engine is turning over too slow
All of that just from trying to clean the carb? I sprayed cleaner through the holes and let it dry how could something like that happen
Wow okay thank you! I opened it up once more and found I put the float needle the wrong way I'm was about to upgrade the carb anyway so should I go ahead and buy one and drain the engine do you think? How do I go about doing it?
