Hey guys,
Prepare for a long paragraph So took the baja out today and the thing wouldn't start at all, so I reset the Walbro 1107 carb to defaults (1 1/4 L and 1 1/2 H) to get it to start. The engine would not start unless I applied the choke before hand and when I did start it, it almost immediately would shut off unless full throttle was applied :/ I wasn't sure what was going on so I kept it alive with throttle and slowly turned the L anti clockwise to make it more rich, this raised the idle RPM's and the things would start to move, but then if i applied throttle it would go to stand still and if I let go of the throttle the RPM increased and it wanted to race off. I didn't try to long with it out of frustration but Im not sure what to do. I have the old 997 carb that still works so might try that, I also saw that the carb was a little loose but the bolts that hold it in are locktite. If anyone knows what might be the issue lmk but I am looking forward to figuring whats wrong so it doesn't happen again XD
