Update on flat spot/hesitation

Post by Dhammadad »

To recap:-

1. Removed and cleaned carb (2E3)
2. New fuel filters
3. New pump push rod
4. New accelerator pump diaphragm

...none of the above made the slightest difference to an annoying hesitation at low end of Rev range.


So, I checked the choke settings. Flap not opening anywhere near 3mm. After several turns of adjustment Allen scew he's ticking over much better now (revs still a little high) but acceptable. Oddly the flat spot is only just discernable now too.
