wakullabanshee Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ok just went to sears and got a compression tester http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00947089000P?prdNo=9&blockNo=9&blockType=G9 to check compression and both cylinders are at ( 160) with 6 to 7 kicks. The problem is i can only pull start it but when you get it to run and warm up you can kick start it but if you let it sit over night you have to pull it again.. What octane would you run in this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopie Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 you should be running around 97 octane with that compression. i have the same problem right now with the starting, its because of the temperature drop, your jetting is too lean for the temp. go up a couple sizes in the main jet and it should start fine.

moneybags Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Could try turning in the air screws alittle to help ritchen up the bottom end. If that helps you will still need to ajust your main jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
