how long would it take the crankcase to clear out.?? so far it has been started about 30 times, still smokes a bunch and after 5 to 7 seconds it dies.

almost like its not getting gas, yet the carb bowl is full and if i disconnect the gas lines, the gas is pumping out when engine starts....it seems like it wants to run but 5 seconds later it dies

spark plug is not oily or gassy, it still looks great


gas flow?
carb problems?
any ideas???

its a great project!!!! :?

Clean out your idle jet. As for the smoke, you'll need to drive it around for 5-10 minutes to clear the crankcase.

ok, have cleaned carb again, oil jet, gas jet.

starts everytime, idles verry irratic

regular idle then, high idle, then very low idle, then high idle, then regular, then low, then finally stalls a a low idle.

anytime you give it gas during this proceedure it will choke out.

any ideas????

thanks for your help
