Why do I have to give a lil throttle to start?

[Chuckthizzle]

I've seen other blasters start up with 1 kick, Me on the otherhand I have to flick the throttle while kick starting before she comes alive? WHy is this? I have a new spark plug, 32:1 Mix, cleaned out carb. Im lost...educate me please. I want to join the ranks of the one kick no throttle team.Or at least 2 kicks.

...Update, I messed around with the choke, throttle cable adjusting, and carb idle, It start in 1-2 kicks now and idles smooth..and AGGRESSIVE

1 kick no throttle, everytime I:I

Depends on your idle

I have my idle set so low it barely runs I:I

Choke open, and feather throttle to start lol




And the reason you need to feather the carb is because it has a carb. Fuel injected dont need any feathering. When you push the throttle, you open the slide allowing more air to push gas into the combustion chamber.

May I be so bold as to ask why?

Well i like a low idle to begin with. (it dies right now if i let it go 15+ seconds)

And as i said before, the screw i have is too short...

And i cant grind it anymore, its flush with the carb body.

Although i now have a bit for the compressor dremel, so i can touch it with that and be done. (Will do that tomorrow i think)

And the reason you need to feather the carb is because it has a carb. .

To procedure start a Blaster or any other motor, is to engage the fuel enrichment system and leave the throttle closed.

If you open the throttle you effectively over ride the starting circuit.

If all adjustments are correct and the idle is set as per specs, then one kick starting will happen every time!

You need to fix that screw and adjust the idle up to specs, idle specifications are for a good reason.

I got it going good. I noticed that my idle screw on the carb is maybe only 2 turns out. ANything less than that my idle starts to bog down, and when I engage in gear it dies out. So 2 turns for me is right at the limit

BTW this Toomey T1 Pipe sounds niiice Loud for sure

Are you talking air screw or the screw that lifts the slide?

Im talking about the air screw on the carb..I still have my TORS hooked up. I have it about 2 turns out. If Iscrew it in it bogs down and dies, if I screw it out it idles higher

Oh, we thought you had removed tors... Idle screw there can be close, but probably not the same as someone elses.

Yea, forgot to tell you guys, I put the TORS back on becuase I had to order the idle screw/ drill bit kit. I couldn't wait to try out the Toomey Pipe so slapped the Tors back on.
