[Tigers] Tiger won't idle after a bout of hard acceleration

                There is an old adage – any time you think you have a carb problem, check the advance curve 1st.

Your case sounds like there is a problem in the carb; it may need a rebuild.  Check the advance curve 2nd.

 

Last time I had a problem like this was with a mid-70’s Weber progressive 2 bbl. – a chunk of RTV got into the primary jet and I had to floor it to keep it running.

All,

 

Would appreiciate any thoughts on my latest conundrum ...

 

Accelerated hard away from a stop light earlier today and now my Tiger won't idle - just dies out, including while shifting if I take my foot off the gas (once the transmission engages, it starts running again).   Starts up fine, but need to stay on the gas to keep it going.

 

Was too hot to start investigating but will need to look into it tomorrow - thinking perhaps something popped off the carburettor?

 

Cheers in advance,

 

Rick
