Hi
This is my first post and I think I know the answer but I'll ask it any way to clarify things.
I just finished restoring a 79 enticer 300 and found that the right cylinder is fouling (bad) it's firing but fouling ...the left is not fouling bad but it's still not nice and tan brown.
The carb is new ... I bit the bullet and bought a new carb since it's the "heart" of the engine as far a I'm concerned and I did not want to be futzing around with it after the rebuild. Jets are stock and the float is bang on.
Since the pulse pipe is on the right side from the fuel pump and there was trace gas in the pulse pipe I'm thinking it's the fuel pump is suspect ... Diaphragm could be shot .... Even tho it's a new pump (bought it from Royal Distributing right out of the catalog)
I've changed the coil as well just to be sure ... I know there was spark and it was firing on both but I don't have an oscilloscope to check it and I've found out that things react differently under pressure of running then just checking to see if there is spark
So I'm i on the right track ? Or is there something that I could be missing ... Kinda bummed that it's not running as well as it should after spending over a year and a half restoring it
Thanks Fox
