NEED HELP!!!!!!
Well, ive been trying to get this thing (74 XL350) to start and run somewhat consistantly. It will start and run, but not every time. I checked the coil, ignition, changed the plug, and all work ed well. Started looking at the fuel system... put fresh gas in it and the carb is getting fuel. I need some help though. it will run if you keep the fuel off, then turn it on before starting the bike, give it a couple quick turns of the throttle and it fires right up. But if i leave the fuel on for any more than a few seconds, it seems to flud out and wont start. I also discovered that if i keep the fuel on, it will flood out and die but if i play with the fuel on/off while it is running, i can keep it running.
Also... Unless im a complete retard... I can't see where this carb has a choke.... the bike originally had one though so I dont think its original equipment.
I know very little about Carbs and tuning them so this is and will be a learning experience. To me it seems like the needle is sticking in the carb and fuel is filling the bowl then flooding out. Does this sound Correct?
Also, from all information i have found it doesnt look like i have the original carb on the bike, especially since it requires a radiator hose and a hole cut in the side cover to work for the intake.
Can anyone IDENTIFY this carb???
