nigel dabster Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 change spark plug every couple of moths. My Sherco was always a good starter, completely strip carb jets out etc and reset float height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard wallace Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Check that the long brass tube that sticks out of carb ,when float bowl is removed is cleared out. That`s the choke circuit, has a small o-ring on the end that gets cut aswell. Chamfer the float bowl where the o-ring fits in. Always left sharp by Mr Dellorto, causes many problems !!!!
