Reddragon Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Got a problem with my B12 revving to 6k on tick over and wont settle down, carbs are BST36 , just stripped cleaned and rebuilt with new o rings and float valves etc , I've done a few checks 1 idle adjuster is backed right off 2 butterflies are all closed 3 slides move freely up and down 4 sprayed carb cleaner around, no air leaks as far as I can tell 5 plugs are black, so its running rich 6 disconnected all cables and no changes I've attached a pic of the carb plunger, theres about 5 mm of it still protruding with the choke off and no cable attached, so is that normal, or is something maybe stopping it going fully home Quote
Captain Chaos Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 On my Mk1 B12 carbs the choke plunger sticks out 7mm in the closed position. Quote
Reddragon Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Thanks @Captain Chaos, I've just measured mine at 6.7mm , so I'm totally baffled as to what's causing it Quote
