at the moment I cannot get the CD to work I will have another go later.
There is a problem with Fileopen if that means anthing to anyone :roll:

[Bigbadfrankie]

Got it going so heres the info
Check fuel filter
Check piolt screw is about 2 1/2 turns out no more than 3
there should be oil alert and a on/ off check continuity.
check coil air gap .02-.04mm

good luck

i will give all that a go thank you .

if its none of them im just wondering if its worth trying a new carb

[Bigbadfrankie]

I would grind in the valves, first i dont think it will be so broken as to need a new carb

[Bigbadfrankie]

reclean the jet there might still be some dirt in the fuel.

[new_2_veg]

the other day when i was working on it i cleaned and flushed out the tank and filter, replaced the pipe and striped the carb.

i couldnt get the main jet out as someone had rounded off the slott in the past

im a bit worryed as there doesnt seam to be much compression when turning the pully by hand.

i thought replace the carb to fix the stuck jet problem but low compression i was thinking could be main gaste or something and dont think i fancy that job.

so the time ive payed someone to do it it would of cost quite abit of money and i need it to be as low priced as possible

the thing with a wacker nathan is when in use they are on full revs for 99% of the time when in use and obviously they vibrate a hell of a lot.where as an engine of a pump or a gen set would have had a better life.
just a bit of food for thought

[Bigbadfrankie]

if it not whistling then your lack of compression could be valve adjustment.
inlet       0.15mm
exhaust  0.20mm

adjusted by the nut and locknut in the middle of the rocker

yeah i thight the same things when he gave me t and said what it was fitted to.

would low compression stop a engine running right when it wasnt under pressure?

i started it again today in passing and it ticked over for 29 or so seconds and it sounded well, but when i tryed to add on revs it just died

nathan

[Bigbadfrankie]

sounds more like fuel then . Low compression would make it difficult to start. inability to rev up is fuel starvation or weak mixture unwind pilot 1/2 a turn a time till it runs

[new_2_veg]

you think the same as me then.

thats why im thinking do i risk the money on a new carb or buy a new engine!

before spending any money ensure the main jet hole is not damaged and partially closed. The carb you have will be OK just look at it carefully

[new_2_veg]

i filled it up with carb cleaner and let it soak through, i think i have done everything in my power to fix what i have here without buying parts, i just dont want to spend money on parts and it still not fix the problem

i just keep thinking a new engine looked after right will last me for as long as i need it to

what engine do think looks the better one?

[Bigbadfrankie]

I have two of these honda copy chinese engines although with different names. One I have have never taken out the box the other came on the howard and is very good always starts and runs and sounds nice. And is very economical. I intend to use them both on my prodjects this winter.

[Bigbadfrankie]

let me know how you get on
