Yup pulled main fuel line I got fuel flowing.. gonna take the bowl off tommorrow and let carb sit in carb cleaner for a day or so.. then attempt to rebuild it.. or just send it off to get rebuilt.. or.. I found a website that'll sell me a reconditioned MIK-12 carb with a 3 year warranty for $239...
me and my dad were talking about this on the way home...he said it could be so many things if it sat for a while....Originally Posted by billyd
good luck man...hopefully you can take enough apart and clean it to get it to work a lil and then it running will help clean it....if not that mik-12 deal is not bad i dont think
Got my brother in law coming over tomorrow to take the carb apart .. got my fingers crossed it's just gummed up and sticking.. to compound my problems even more... while I was looking for the filter found my frame was rotted at the driver side rear leaf spring perch.. for as good of condition the rest of the truck is in.. I'm gonna take it to the nearest DOT certified welding shop to get repaired.. like I said before I had the mighty maxx and miss it.. so for only paying 500 for this truck.. I probably gonna sink some money into to keep it...
Anyone ever do a weber conversion swap? I got a price off ebay for 289 for a brand new weber 2 barrel carb.. free shipping... just curious if anyone had any luck with the weber K-614, that way I'll be able to get the heck away from the stock mikuni I got on there... I do plan on doing more upgrades to it...
Do it. There are a few webber threads on the old board. Not really a carb person so o don't pay too much attention to which carbs they are using or where they are getting their parts.
Got it running today.. tore the carb apart today, found the float to be stuck.. not because of it gummed up but there's 2 flaps in the bowl of carb.. and I think when the previous owner put carb back together one of the flaps was was up.. therefore keepeing the float up and not allowing fuel.. cleaned carb put back on truck runs beautiful....still gonna try and find a carb rebuild kit for it.. sending it off to the welder this week..
glad to see it running...i have had so many problems with carbs..i usually check the float first...thats why i mentioned it to you..
i had a pocket bike that the p/o said wouldnt run...bought ..got it home.. tore carb apart... same problem... the little flaps above the float were bent and wouldnt allow everything to do its job properly....
10 minutes later i was riding around....
