I’m running an e50 with a 50 kit, proma circuit pipe, delorto 1412. It’s been running fine until recently. It doesn’t want to idle, and after running it for 10+ minutes it won’t start back up. I have to wait 20-30 minutes for it to cool down just to get it started. So I’ll hit a stop sign, then it’ll die and I have have to let it cool down before I get it running again. It has and b7 plug and the color looks good and the plug looks clean. Thinking it could be a point gap issue. Any ideas?
Check your Condenser or just do the external condenser setup and be done with it. You can get one at your local auto parts store won't take you more than 30min to setup and you'll have eliminated that variable.
Are you sure it's the heat and not the bowl emptying?
They loose value like crazy with heat when they are old.
Yes it’s definitely something electrical. I’m also thinking could be a bad coil. Gonna try a few things out.
UPDATE: I up jetted and sealed up an air leak where the carb meets the intake. That fixed my idling problem, so now it idles just fine.
But the not starting when hot problem still remains. It’s most likely something electrical. I’m thinking it’s either a bad condenser or a bad high tension coil. Could just be I need a hotter spark plug. I’m gonna try a few things out.
Alex said, Check your Condenser. So keep checking everything but the bad part.
Change the friggin condensor already. (edited)
I thought "bad condenser" when reading the title of this thread, so you'd better start with checking the air pressure in your front tire.
I checked the front tire and it it was filled with proper amount of spaghetti.
Turns out it was a bad coil folks. Easy fix!
External HT coil?????? If you cross the positive and the ground what happens? What are the ohm readings, for the Primary and secondary?
