There must be some passages in the carburetor body or the emulsion tube above the main jet that are plugged partially or fully. Take the carb apart and clean every passage with compressed air and carb cleaner spray. Be careful not to get anything in your eyes though. don-ohio

ive never touched the timing also there are no breakers points, my 84 fa50 uses a pei box

Hey Dave, Can you send me any close-up pics of the fuel lines so I can get mine running? PLEASE Thanks Benjy

also if you need other pages let me know.

Just the fact that the motor performs so much better when you spray starting fluid into it tells me that there's something not right with the carb. I would look into:

float

float needle

float needle seat

plugged passageway (take a piece of real thin wire and run it through those small areas)

I don't suppose that you have access to another carb that works? That would narrow down the problem.

Keep in mind also that when you spray starting fluid in there that it's quite a bit more combustible than plain gasoline. Have you tried pouring a little plain gas in there? If it speeds up when you do that then it's definitely a carb problem.

Good Luck!

Greetings. Oddly enough I am having fuel troubles with my 82 fa 50. I saw that someone was sending attachments. I redid the fuelk system and carbeurator and left it for about a year. When I came back to the project, I had forgotten which hoses go where (duh!). I have tried numerous configurations, but to no avail. I was hoping that you or someone out there would have a diagram of the fuel lines. Carb is OK, byt fuel routing is not.

Thanks

Phil

Make sure your foam air filter is in very good shape or it will not run properly and you will waste lots of time with the carb.
