nanardos Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Following my previous message about leaking carburettors (Dellortos) , I have replaced both carbs pump body gaskets and diaphragms and they don't leak anymore But I now have another problem; When I start the engine , it goes right up to very high revs ans won't slow down whatsoever. As I have not changed any setting at all, I wonder whether something (float assemblies ?) may have moved Inside the carbs (I turned them upside down several times to clean them) making them supply too much fuel to the engine ?

Herc Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I had a similar problem when I mis-adjusted the linkage between the two carbs so that one was always part-on. Was hard to start, but then ran away with itself. I say mis-adjusted - I actaully slotted the linkage together incorrectly. Herc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanardos Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I discovered exactly the same mis-adjustment right after having sent the message , Thanks anyway Herc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
