[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 330212, member: 3278"] Well, we know it is not running in SLOW mode. In your first video. as I mentioned in my first post, the engine sounded incredibly rich. Check to see if the primer system is leaking into the intake manifold. The red lever should face rearward, along the body of the primer assembly. Take a pair of needle nosed pliers and pinch off the center supply line to the primer and see if the engine picks up power. If the engine is equipped with an electric primer check and see if there is power all the time on the purple/white, there should not be. If this is the case then the primer is probably toast internally. The pliers will let you know. If you have not been inside the carbs go there next. Check to see that all high speed jets are screwed in properly and not backed out and free flowing fuel. Check the high speed jets for proper size for your engine and last but not least check the internal size of the jet to make sure some rocket scientist hasn't drilled them out thinking he will get more power. This should keep you busy for a while.............. [/QUOTE]
