tregath Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 So i Have the trike all sorted for a WOF test tomorrow, but i get it out on the road for a rip down the street and back, but at 1/3 throttle while under load it coughs and splutters and blows chuffs of black smoke. I have tried playing with a few tihngs but cannot get it running right. Its a 75ish 1300 aircooled beetle motor. has new plugs, points and leads. it runs allright at idle and at 1/3 to 1/2 throttle but any higher then that and it starts spluttering. timing has been reset. the autochoke has been disconnected and the choke tightened up so its about 1/3 open. when engines warm i have tried to move the choke but any movement either way makes it die. it was like this when i got it. I have tried adjusting the mixture screw but this does not change it. Can anyone shed any light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Fresh fuel fixed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tregath Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Turns out the condensor was stuffed, and fitted a new fuel filter which improved it a little and got a mechanic to look at it and the carb is that worn it cannot be tuned. So looking for a replacment carb or service kit if i get stuck. Does anyone know about these http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 493306.htm They look the same as the kit repco want $150 for. Might just give one a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheCreator Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 cant go wrong for 25 bucks, hopefully it has everything to do your carb as it says from 28-34 pict but there is a huge difference between a 28 and 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
