<DIV><FONT size=2>I've been having posting to and receiving messages from MGS
lately, but got this, so here goes:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you have HS cabs then if the jet has not been centred
correctly the piston won't fully descend, which can cause stalling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Wind the jet down as far as it can go and see if that allows
the piston to fully fall. If it does not, then there is another problem
such as a bent needle, piston binding against the cover, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If the piston fully drops with the piston lowered, then
w</FONT><FONT size=2>ind the jet up to be flush with the bridge while you
recentre the jet, then you can be sure that with the jet wound back down to its
normal running position it will be clear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Jet will bubble up out of the jet, with the ignition on, if
the vent/overflow plumbing is blocked. This goes via the charcoal canister
if that is what you have.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The idle with HS carbs (unlike HIF carbs) will gradually fall
if left idling long enough, like several minutes. But if it drops sooner
than that try pressing the butterfly cams onto the idle screws as soon as you
release the throttle, and see if that makes it idle lower straight away.
If it does then the butterflies aren't returning fully, which could be them
binding in the carb throat, insufficient return spring pressure, binding
linkages, insufficient free-play on the throttle cable, etc.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The piston drops just fine with a good clank. When the piston drops with
it inside the pot is when I get problems. It goes all the way down except but
the last little bit....</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
