Hi, Well I have a situation that I would like some other thoughts on. My WC starts very easy when cold and then runs fine for anywhere between 10 minutes to 15 minutes, then she will sputter and die. Then I choke her throw the hand crank around about 2 times and she starts right up again and then does the same silly routine.
1. I have taken the mag off and bench tested it again. Good Blue spark.
2. The sparkplug wire ends have been soldered to the brass connections.
3. New points and condensor were installed about 2 weeks ago, and new plugs.
4. Carb has been rebuilt, but I question how well the needle and seat are working together.
5. Have a new steel gasline, and new sediment bowl.
6. I have checked the gas tank vent cap and it is allowing pressurized air to pass thru holes in cap
7. I am ready for other thoughts..... .OK, now I have said all that, I have considered that the Condensor could have gone bad and is causing the spark to drop out. I have also thought that maybe the needle and seat are not working right and the needle gets stuck in the shotoff position long enough to stop gas flow, thats why I have to choke her when I have to start her after she is already warmed up. I should also mention she does fight to keep running, its not an abrupt stop its a sputter sputter, lunge lunge, I'm done....No black smoke out the exhaust, no backfires, and she does this sitting still or while moving, and when moving it happens when she is moving slow or moving in a higher gear. OK, now I am ready for suggestions, and thank you very much I sure do appreciate the help.
