Hs50
Bought as a project/ history unknown
Aftermarket carb
New air filter
New head gasket/has a leak though
Remote gas tank
It runs well, seems to have plenty of power and for the most part idles fine. The problems happen as I come to a stop, worse if I come to a hard stop. If it doesn’t stall right away it’ll idle very low and if I chirp the throttle to pick it up it’ll stall. If I tickle the throttle a few times it generally won’t stall. When it does stall it starts up just fine.
The head gasket leak- at some point in its life someone crapped up the threads in the block on one of the head bolts and in fixing it they redrilled/tapped the block out of alignment to the head so I worried to hole in the head to get it realigned. I haven’t pulled the tin to confirm that that’s where the leak is but it’s too close to the bad bolt to be coincidence. I haven’t a clue if this has anything to do with the stalling but...
Thanks
