 |
|
2001 90 Scrambler is hard starting and won't stay running when you touch the throttle. Good spark and have cleaned the carb, changed the fuel filter too but seems to run out of gas.
Any suggestions? |

| Yes I pulled the Jets out, cleaned the whole carb and checked the float. Not sure what the float setting is supposed to be but it looked to be about level when it the valve is closed. |

| check the intake and seals around it and where the carb is attached it may be a vacum leak letting air in .what type of carb is it |

It is a factory Carb, so it is most likely a Japanese make of some type. The metal face of the carb & intake looked good, but didn't pay much attention to the condition of the gasket. May have to check that again.
Thanks,
