So…I’m frustratingly installing my 3rd 1107 carb now on my V3 MT and I am starting to believe it’s not the carbs, but something I am doing incorrectly and I could use a few suggestions from the group vets here.
Getting good spark and fuel so that’s ruled out.
Also, if I swap back to the factory 668….couple of pulls with the choke = pop, couple more pulls and turns over like a champ.
I’m choking the 1107 the same as the 668, but not getting a “pop”, which I find odd?
I can pull the 1107 until the cows come home and nothing…except the eventual good old flooded engine.
Set the 1107 H needle to 1 7/8 per DDM guidance, +/- ¼ turn…and the L needle to 1 5/8 +/1 ¼ turn.
Nothing, I mean nothing! It’s like the 1107’s are DOA.
I read on another forum a member said to try starting w/o priming the bulb. Not sure what that will really do, but I will try that and report back.
Yet another thread suggesting setting the H / L to 3 full turns to clean out any residue. Tried that as well, nothing.
I also tried blipping the throttle a little while starting and not the faintest sound of wanting to start with the 1107.
Surely there is a trick that I am missing here???
Thanks for the assistance everyone.
