Hi, as some of you had read from my previous threads, i had finally finished my bug and started running it today. But as its the first time running the engine, there will be problems :S. Today was nice and sunny so thought i might as well take it out to run the engine in. Made the usual petrol mix of 25:1 (castor 927 with super unleaded at 97). Poured petrol in and fired after 7-8 pulls with no problems. I run her for aprox 10min before the engine started bogging and stalled. I let it cool down, took out the plug and cleaned it as its was lil black and fired her again and bam.. Engine will stall after 2-3 secs! Following i did to fix:
-cleaned plug again/replaced with new one
-checked for air leak
-reset carb setting
-bubble had petrol going in and out to check if the lines are blocked
Still no luck. I know the plug is black as its running lil rich but thats whats recommended with new engine (as i have been told). Every time the engine stalls, it only takes 2-3 pulls to fire it again and it will start but i hafto rev it high to stay on, as soon i let go of the trigger it will stall. I also noticed lots of black oil comming out of the exhasut but i assume thats normal when running rich. Is there a cure to this? Total run time has been about 20min. I have made a video if that helps.
Many thanks.
