I'd check the wire on the condensor. See if there is any cracking of the insulation and check the connector real good. But a condensor not working will give those symptoms.
I totally agree. If you're going to do it,do it right.You need to take the carb completely apart and give it a thorough cleaning. Taking the top off and blowing some air down the holes isn't going to cut it.
I did. Just takes a short screwdriver. But, you have to get the sheet metal cover over the exhaust manifold out of the way. I didn't have a carb gasket and was afraid I would ruin the one on it taking it off, so I just left the carb on there. If the low and high jets are clean and the metering valve and needle are clean, I don't know what else there is in there to clean.I totally agree. If you're going to do it,do it right.As Randy stated about removing the main jet,yeah that's fine,but you will not(unless someone has a trick) get it back in with the carb mounted on the manifold.
