There is reason to suspect the hall sensor, for sure. However, When I do get enough fuel into the engine, it will fires almost immediately. I have been getting it started by priming a shot of 1 or 2 cc of fuel into the carb throat.
However, it does not account for the fact the fact that the engine will run (at a too rich state) at high revs with the high speed needle fully closed. In my understanding, this points to fuel regulation problems and not the ignition.
Do you agree.
I am now suspecting that the pop off pressure is not right.
I would go back to the original carb, but I have removed the welch plug and can not get one locally short of buying a full service kit.
Do you have a local source? It is a 3/8 inch aluminium welch plug.
