Title: 126 650cc Hot starting
Post by: mazzini on August 17, 2011, 08:34:42 PM
Hi Guys,
Am having a little trouble getting to the cause of the poor hot starting and uneven idle with aircooled.
Have done the usual tappets/condenser/points.I did however find a crack in the bakelite spacer of which i have replaced and whilst carb was off stripped,cleaned etc including checking float etc.
Idling a little better but  now does spit back from the carb on the over run.Would it make a difference as i had not fitted the plastic elbow to aircleaner?
Starts on the button from cold and runs great until its hot and you try and re-start it after 5/10 mins !!
Can anyone give me any pointers please?
I haven't re checked timing since engine was built 150 miles ago.

Many thanks in advance.
Mazz

Could have answered your own question.

Timing???? worth checking. Plug gaps (had similar problems turned out to be plugs)
