NC30 running on front cylinders only at low revs
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2013 10:11 pm
After some remarks [ your machine smells like unburned gasoline ] and low mpg [ 1 liter at 13 km's or apprx 30 mpg ] we found that at low revs only the front cylinders are functioning. The rear exhaust pipes stay cold while the front are already hellish hot.
Only when the revs go up [ say 4krpms + ] the rears come in.
The exhaust fume however is dark, wet and smells after unburned gasoline.
Running 120 main jets, 35 pilot jets [ changed from 38s ], air screw 2 full turns out. Standard exhaust. New spark plugs [ nkg er9eh 9 ]. New air filter from HiFlo.
Already done: cleaned the carbs with Motul carb system cleaner. Took the carbs apart and had them cleaned ultrasonic. Checked the float valve needles: the spring action is verry verry poor so this might lead to problems?, checked the float levels [ 6.8 mm ].
Followed cam's tip to soak the diaphragm. Polished the carb slides and they are moving smoothly.
Regarding the electrical part: measured the ht coils primary and secondary resistance and they are within range.
The sparks all give a nice blueish spark when tested. Exchanged the coils and spark cables.
All with the same result: Front cyls ok, Rear cyls fail.
We have run out of options so any help is very much appreciated!

[ my son bought the machine in april and it was equipped with the ultra loud Tyga race can. Therefor the 38s and 120 jets. Needles are non standard too. ]
