bug wont start..

Post by bddnv »

Have a bug and its been sitting , had the motor rebuilt with dual carbs, having trouble getting it to start and run smooth, think its the carb adjustment...any help on that subject would be much appreciated...
and the fuel filter if it gets dark does it need to be replaced and that affect the idle??

Thanks

If its been sitting and has ethanol in the fuel, you would need to go through the fuel system (rebuild carbs) to make sure there are no issues with O-rings and such. Change the fuel filter and any lines with new to make sure you have removed any issues from rubber deterioration.

One man's opinion.
