Default RE: engine trouble


ORIGINAL: richrd

running at night is not to safe because the 60hz of powered light effects the tach reading. So turning the lights off an using a flash light works butit's a little dawnting. The spring in the barrel should hold it tight I'd try to tune it first then look for air leaks. Search for the pinch test to set needles.

It will still be daytime when I get to this after work but it wont be sunny.
I dont know how bright it has to be for the tach to work...?

What do you mean by "spring in the barrel"?
I dont think theres a spring there? I thought the throttle moved freely?? I'll have to look again.

I agree to try and tune first...

Thanks
