tt5th Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yep, oil on the clutch side, get some fresh popped in and the dry side is the mag side. The not idling is probably just the carb needing a clean. I'd take it off and clean the jets and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper956 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 cleaned the car 3 times 3rd time knoticed the seal of one of the brass jets (the long one) the o ring was damaged replaced this and still the same so given up and doing the folk seals as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Any joy getting it running? Has to be something to do with the carb if it'll run on choke. The idle circuit must have a blockage somewhere or the carb is just way out of adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
