MadMarx Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Had since Spa the problem, that the engine won't idle properly. Only on7 cylinders. I thought #2 was the devious one but in fact it was #5 in which idle jet a tiny metal bit blocked the fuel way. The balance bar confused #2 when #5 is off service. With a little jet reamer I cleaned the jet and all 8 are back on service: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsBIqcID_3/?utm_medium=copy_link Edited October 6, 2021 by MadMarx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MadMarx Posted October 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) It was hard to find. I've checked the carbs and jets several times last few month and didn't find it. This metal bit was as thin as a thin hair.....and I didn't see it properly. I needed a magnifying lense to see it. And compressed air didn't help to blow it out... reaming tool was needed to push it out of the jet. The jet reamers are small enough to fit through the jet hole without touching it or changing the diameter. Edited October 6, 2021 by MadMarx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
