idle

Hey all, new to the forum. NOT a motor expert. Thought you all could help with my little problem. Purchased a new HF Clone 6.5. Installed the motor on a 1961 Wheel Horse Suburban Ball Burner tractor. The tractor originally had a 5 H.P. on it but had some issues. Had to remove the gas...

Just got the second bike running and I am having a problem with the engine hesitating when I first give it throttle. The first bike dosen't have this problem and both have the same modifications except I have advanced the timing about 6 degrees and I have the 14cc head that has been ported. So...

Hi all first sorry if this is a repeat i searched; problem: I have a jiangdong JF168 - its starting and idling fine -- however its only starting to enguage the clutch with the throttle (handle) half way on - I see the screws and have adjusted them but the air filter is blocking the (rabbit...

I have a Bird "nighthawk" with the Original Tecumseh, I think is an HS40 but it does not have any model numbers so I am not positive. Here is my problem: I can start it really easy, but it will only run really fast. I cannot get it to slowly idle. I rebuilt the carb and that went well and...

How do I improve the idle on my clones. I have one 5.5 on my Mini Baja, and one HF Greyhound on a Serengeti Puma. Neither idles as I'd like, especially when hot. Both have a #90 main jet. Even when very hot, the 5.5 doesn't like to idle. Strangley enough, if I half choke it, it will...

Hi all, I have a Tecumseh H70/7hp engine in a Super Bronc, I went thur the carb, it runs good I drove the bike today and it has great power but I can not get it to idle I've tarried adjusting the idle jet with no luck. It starts good idles for 30 40 seconds then just runs slower and slower and...

i just rebuilt my briggs 5hp and it wont idle i have the original fun power carb and i have to rev it up to keep it running i was thinking about getting a tilly but i dont have a welder to make an intake and im 15 so i have a very small budget like $50 any advice

I got a Mikuni today from So-Cali and its another addon to my clone. Problem is that i cant get it to idle enough to where it wont spin the clutch. I have the screw all the way out and it still idles high. I dont have one of those $200 racing clutches that have adjustable springs.

Hey guys, first thread, but i got a major problem. just received my gx390 kit from NR with mikuni fuel pump and this thing won't idle AT ALL.. here is my Set-up GX200 Clone: -Aluminum flywheel -ARC billet rod -18lb valve springs -Governor removed -GX390 carb kit (carb adapter with pulse...

I have an older briggs and stratton engine im fixing for a friend. I believe it is a 3.5 hp but im not 100% sure. So heres my problem, the engine only idles with the choke on and dies as soon as i take off the choke. And when i pull the throttle it does not want to rev high. BTW it has the...

Where in the freak is the idle screw on the HF 6.5? It seems like my engine is running fast,although it maybe my imagination too.I was hoping to turn down the idle and see where that gets me.Thanks! Curious question,just wondering what makes these type engines louder while running vs a...

I recently Bought a Tote Goat Mini Burro, with a 5 hp Honda Engine in it. The previous owner warned me it need carb work. I could not get the bike to stay running or idle. Luckily I had the same engine not mounted on a bike, so I took the carb off and put it on my already mounted one. I've...

I have a modded 6.5 clone (gov removed ARC flywheel, #90 jet, header) that refuses to idle- I must hold open the throttle to keep it alive and if i dont it will shut off. Please HELP

I have a GX110 (3.5hp) Honda and it runs great with the choke about 1/2 on - If I rev it up it will run with the choke off but will die if you let off the throttle. I took the carb off and sprayed it out with carb cleaner, Cleaned the plug and no change. I'm hoping for some adjustment out of...

i was wondering if there are any cams out ther that sound like Thumpr cams but made for tecumseh 5.5. i like that sound they make. choppy idle and make the engine sound better. i hope there are some out there cause i want my mini to sound awsome.

Where is the idle jet located on a stock clone carburetor and how do you remove it to drill it?
