HI,
861 I am slowly rescuing. Had to put a new head on it as old one was cracked. Rebuilt the top completely. Rebuilt crudded-up carb. New fuel lines, new screens. Used air cleaner from Steiner, cleaned, new wool, new oil. Fires right up, seems to have plenty of power but maybe a little sluggish governor - runs through all the gear just fine, lift works, all good.
When going down ANY kind of grade. even a lil, it acts like I choked it. RPMs drop, black smoke and backfires. Catches, lurches forward, stumbles, again and again. doesnt matter if clutch in or out.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
