Hi. I have a '53 TE 20 that I'm working on. The engine was running terribly. Spluttering and backfiring when it felt like it. Compressions great and same wet and dry. I took the carb off and used a carb kit to clean it up and put it back together.
Now when I start it, it only starts with the choke on. When I go to release the choke it quits. Played around with the carb settings and now it will automatically adjust the intakes to stay active, however when doing so it revs up so extremely high, then calms down to the point of dying, and back up again. Over and over. Whilst doing this it sounds like someone's taking pot shots out the rear end, and exhaust blowing out the exhaust gaskets while backfiring.
I hope someone's can shed some light on this! I'm getting frustrated now haha. Thanks in advance!!!
