Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

If the key is partly sheared or completely sheared, with the flywheel shifted a small amount retarding the spark, it could make slow speed operation poor at best, and limit the high speed power. Why not look at it? Probably takes less time to check than waiting for all the speculative replies from everyone.

Byacey<br /> All that is involved in checking that is removing the flywheel correct ?<br />Is the key visable from that point ?<br /> Also should I mark where flywheel is sitting before removal ?<br /> Thank You

Just pull the flywheel... theres a slot on the flywheel and the crank... the key fits inside the slot on the crank and the flywheel is lined up so the key will fit in it's slot. It's easy and if you have'nt done it do it... only costs the trouble of getting the flywheel off... might cost you a steering wheel puller, and a key if it's sheard. You'll know if it's sheard or not.

Hey Guys <br /> <br /> I did get the flywheel off today and they flywheel key looks fine and everything underneath the wheel checked out ok, so Im guessing that the problems are lying in the carbs<br /> If the timeing is off would that also cause this problem ?<br /> How can I check the timeing

Make sure you have the flywheel torqued to the proper spec or you'll risk having a sheared flywheel key, I think it's 105 foot pounds but you may want double check.<br /><br />If you haven't made any adjustments to the timing its unlikely it would have changed on its own.

Have you checked your fuel pump yet,float is set right in the carbSort of sounds like your starving for fuel [running lean].If you take the pump apart shine a bright light underneath the diafram and see if there are any pin holes,if so replace it

My previous post of 10/07/05.... did you run the test mentioned? If so, what were the results? If you're not running Champion QL77JC4 plugs, do so and set the gap to .040 .

You mentioned that when it stalls you have to take the cover off. Run it without the cover and see how it does. You may have an exhaust leak. Can't run on it's own exhaust.

Hi Joe <br />Yes I did do the test with sticking my fingers in the carbs <br /> results are on bottom carb I could feel gas coming out of the jet only on one side though <br />and the top carb I felt nothing at all also Im am using the champion plugs you mentioned and the gaps on them are ok <br /> Fireman 57 : I did try running engine with cover off no change at all

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

Dave, earlier you said you were going to go through the carbs again, have you done this?<br /><br />As has been said before it sounds like its running lean. I think you've picked up some blockage.<br /><br />Since you're getting fuel to the lower carb and it has to go through the upper carb to get there, the blockage would most likely be in the jets or passages of the top carb.<br /><br />Of coarse Joe has much more experience with these motors than I do or ever will

Hey guys <br /><br /> Where can I find a fuel pump kit for a 1975 115hp ?<br /> I looked on the parts site but it skips my year and goes to a later one

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

Sounds like the carburetors are fouled. Even if you've already had them apart, I'd suggest double checking them.

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

I did tke them apart again today I bought 2 new kits to rebuild them when I looked at them they looked ok<br />also joe any idea on a kit for the fuel pump

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

Have you done a search on here about carb cleaning? If you have you will already know that the carbs looking O.K, and actually being O.K are two different things!<br /><br />It's the jets and passages that need to be spotless. Have you taken the little aluminium plugs out and cleaned the tiny passages under them, etc?

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

I took them apart and soaked them in cleaner <br />found crap down in the bottom holes in the bottom cover and stuff in passages so I will put it back together tomorrow and post the results

Re: Help is anyone local motor has pushed my buttons for the last time

Hey Guys <br />I started engine today after cleaning and rebuilding carbs and same results still misses and huffs <br />snap the throttle by hand and revs right right up but at low idle forget it still like I said missing and so on <br />where should I go next
