I found it on Craigslist. He wanted 150, I called him and he said he sold it already. I thought about it a while and emailed him. Told him I'd give him 225. I think he called the guy and backed out and sold it to me.
Where do you get series 770? I haven't seen a set of points on the engine. Are they under the flywheel with the coil? Do they resemble the points on an old motorcycle or car? Maybe the gap is off. I'm just guessing here. I found the carb online and I will order it if I get no results today.
I have a clone on my Boonie Bike. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I've about had it with this Tecumseh. I just thought it would be easier if it would run. I've always had good luck with the old Briggs engines but this one is kicking my butt. Thanks for the help.
Is there a way to get the little plugs out of the carb without messing them up? There still has to be a problem with that carb. I'm about ready to go clone with this bike but I have the Superbronc torque setup that I want to use.
I would have to mount a different fuel tank if I eliminated the pump. I see pictures of SuperBroncs with a separate tank. Are they suppose to have them.
I have the engine running but I can't get it to clean up. Run it at fast idle and it cleans up. If I idle it down it dies. If I adjust for idle it runs rough on the top end. I can't get it on both ends. When it is good on the top it will idle if I put it at half choke it will idle. I just...
ok, I took the carb apart again and put it back on. I checked for cracks that air could get through, again. This time I filled the tank all the way up so that the level was above the bowl. It ran better. AND, you are going to be disgusted with me, I was trying all of this with the air filter...
I give up. I have no idea what is going on. Usually, given enough time, I can get these things figured out but this one is kicking my butt. It sucks because I have everything I need to finish this bike. I was hoping to finish this weekend. I got a new carb yesterday. Wrong again. This one...
check and check, but I think I found the problem. I need to read carb descriptions better. I bought a carb for an h80. not an hm80. I'm guessing that will make a difference. I'm surprised that I've lived this long. I have my head up my butt so much you would have thought I would have...
Something isn't right. I put a new carb on this HM80. It will run if I screw the needles and all the way in but it backfires a bit. If I idle it up it is worse. If I try to back the screw out it starts to die. I think it is running too rich with the needle all the way in. Maybe I got the...
I called Ron today, as suggested by Gumpit, he was a huge help and really knows his stuff. I ordered everything I need to finish the bike. Hopefully I will have it Friday and we can finish this thing over the long weekend. Thanks for referring me to Ron.
