Slabby carb problems


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Rebuilt my slabby last year and had it running pretty fine,took it out yesterday in the heat and it developed a new problem.

Wouldn't tick-over when hot and stalled at every chance>:(, when I got it going again it misfired and wouldn't rev cleanly any ideas?

It has previously run perfectly during the cooler months

It's standard apart from exhaust, running VM29s with std airbox with KN replacement filter, carbs ultrasonically cleaned and repair kits fitted.

Sounds like it was slightly rich for cooler conditions, it would be very rich for warmer conditions. Were the jets changed from standard ?

If you whip one of the plugs out , I expect it'll be sooty.

I need to a comp test anyway so gives me a good excuse to check the plugs at the same time,probably going to check coils and leads before making any carb adjustments just in case its ignition/carb related:( any other suggestions/ideas are welcomed;)
