hi guys
have been rebuilding the series 1 for a few years now..bodywork and cosmetics more my thing than the mechanical side so bear with me here..anyway..fired up the engine and she starts 1st turn of the key every time and sounds sweet enough on giving her some throttle but just refuses to idle..conks out..turn key again..pump primes and starts again no problem..lasts about 5 seconds and dies again..i have fiddled with the allen key screw on metering head and the idle screw itself but its beyond me so don't want to mess about too much with it..i know this is difficult guys but any clues or ideas would be greatly appreciated..would love to hear it idling the way my series 2 does.
