Dellorto SHA 15:15 Jet Question

I have rebuilt an engine and installed it but can't get it to start up.

Here's what's new:

70cc TCCD kit

High comp head

new spark plug

super stuffy crank

case matched

new bearings and seals

stuff i already had:

dellorto SHA 15:15 carb

techno bullet pipe

I have a good spark. reset the point gap, and plug gap. cleaned points. I re-cleaned by tank, carb and replaced fuel filter. So i'm pretty sure i have good fuel and air delivery.

So i'm thinking my issue is the main jet size. The motor wants to fire. I'll get a pop or sputter every now and then. I bought a range of jets but they aren't the right ones. i need the bigger thread ones. the current jet does not have any markings so i can't identify the size. Any advice on a good range to start at?

Do you think jet size is my issue with the no start?

If you don't know the jet size, how can you even start to think that it is tuned??

If I cant get it started can I even start to get it tuned?

The SHA is a single jet carb one of the easiest to tune. Aside from slides, you just have 1 jet to change. Too lean (won't start)? Upjet. Too rich? Downjet.

If it won't start, you need to establish a baseline to start with. Based on your setup, i would start with a low 80's jet, and work your way down into the high-mid 70's until it runs good. You said your jet does not have a marking on it, which leads me to believe you have a clone SHA, which work fine for the most part. You need to order 5mm Dellorto jets. Get them at treatland, or doscycles, mopeddivision... Get a temp gauge, it will help. And a few extra spark plugs.

Also, have you verified that your timing is correct with a timing light? (edited)

This is the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks so much! And I already have a temp gauge. I've spend too much time and money to seaze on my first ride.

You'll want to verify your timing is correct too with a timing light, and ensure you have no vacuum/air leaks. SHA are prone to leaking at the mounting point, an O ring typically solves it.

With the clone SHA, just be a little more careful tightening the screws, as the metal/plastic may be of lesser quality. Post a picture of it if you can.

After ordering a range at treatland I found some jets that will work at my local scooter shop. Go figure. Also, I assume I have a cloned dellorto. Betcha can't identify this!
