i have a sand rail i have been working on for the last couple years the engine is a 75 convert to carb 1600dp ran well over past 4 years i had it and now i have had to change the carb and coil and distributer. plugs . and had it running well last year. this winter had couple rips but has seams to get a pop and cough now and timing seems out. other then timing what else could the problem be. going to change the fuel today and see. it has been sitting for a bit. and i have a timing light now. have just been test light timing. i was wondering about valves? what part do they play in the whole? if you know any in the area of kamloops that can help me out and is willing to help out let me know. talked to couple of guys that were burnt out from there years of sand rails and duners that just say get the timing right and settings just right. i was hoping i could see what i maybe missing. it is a 75 type 3? was FI convert to carb. had a j4 type distributer before had changed it to a 009 and now have a j4 convert to electonic.

Sounds like a jet issue in the carb. Sounds like too much fuel.
-
hey so where do i start with that? i have noticed a air sound too in the carb as well. but cant find a leak?
-
started good was a little out with timing light. now i have BTDC and 2 ATDC setting bit lost on them. was running good started fast and strong. now i set the big plug and have turned it in to a stop Not hard but stoped. and 2 turns on small and 10 on big was way out made a lot of noise but started still. air sound. turned tell i hear it get softer but stalls now. and hard to start? the timing was out again a little?
-
hey i want to thank you. every time i ask some one they say the timing is just off i have payed guys to fix not alot but could have been worse. this has been a big help i have a 34pict3 carb and you say i need a 60 to try going to look now. at this point drain oil again for the 3 time and see what the time line is on delivery. and do you know what reg i need or if any will work? Thanks again i will get back to you on the running Richard Kuczko

Avr (604) 852-9024 has one that works. Give rob a call and they can greyhound it for you. Takes only a day or two.

Ohh and the .60 is a bigger idle jet. Just ask for a set he will know what you mean. They help me all the time so don't be afraid to ask questions. I live in a boony town to. Kinda
