    Look at the tiny bubbles leaking past his little seat sealing washer. They are visible around the outsides of the brass needle seat

    How I know the right pressure My carb/engine needs?
  • I was not expecting that juicy old fart when you put the marvel mystery oil in it. NICE!

    Im trying to put a 26mm tillotson from a gokart on my moped 70cc. My question is is the pulse from the crank to be komming from before or after the reeds?

    ok. it is very self-explanatory but what does it mean ? I have a Tillotson that pops-off at 4.5psi which is low. What is wrong with it ? I ordered a rebuild kit and installed new diaphragm and seals, but no hardware change. I have not yet tested the pop-off but it would be nice to know what exactly does it mean if it releases the pressure early. I can only think that the seals or a diaphragm is old which they were. The kart was having issues with coming out of a corner not being able to accelerate fast, good idle but no top end. It all gave me an indication of not enough fuel pressure , but a guy at the kart track said it is not that. He checked the pop-off pressure and then he said it is low and I should replace the spring on the jets and also to replace the jets. I have not replaced anything but the seals and diaphragm so I may or may not fixed it but the test will come soon
