Both could be problems. If the cable's hanging up, the slide won't drop. As for the bystarter, I'd have to see a pic to see how bad that problem is.bigbaer wrote:So I tore everything apart today, and had the same results. I did, however, find that the auto bystarter had a break in it and the needle wasn't able to engage the port correctly (it was a break in the part that holds the needle straight). Would this have anything to do with the problems? How about the accel cable possibly needing a good lubrication...could that hold the main jet needle out too far, allowing too much fuel?
Good news is that all the issues seem to be carb related. If you've had it with carbs, there are a couple of guys that can redo them mail-order. Greg at uspmale@yahoo.com is one; he also has spare parts.
