April 6, 201214 yr I have just started to sort out my 301 mono and kicked it over today. with the choke on it started ( after a lot of kicking) and it reved its nuts off choke off it died, after fettling with the adjusters on the carb the same although with the thumb screw i managed to drop the revs with the choke on but it died again. Any ideas? It has not got the standard air filter on just a old pre 65 style one i had knocking around would this explain the erratice behaviour? james
April 9, 201214 yr Author by vacum leak do you mean sucking in air via the carb? or should i be looking into taking the engine to bits?
April 9, 201214 yr Sucking air after the carb ... Get it running again and spray some carb cleaner around the intake hose and the mainifold . if the tone changes , youve found your leak . Can also suck air at the big end seals , but thats pretty rare ... Glenn
