From the sounds of it , he knows a little about engines and he has done the timing a few times now , or at least checked it. If we go by what he has said he did and he is 100% sure , we almost have to go by that at this point . we have no other option. If it turns out its the timing that's not our fault. We must assume its correct. don't want to take anything from him , but even if he checks it over and over I bet it still turns out the same" right or wrong". Its not hard to get right if you watch a video , even if you have no idea about engines. Its much harder to get wrong" in my opinion " .
I guess only time will tell.

Isn't the jug new ? If so , the problem existed with the old one also . so that would rule that out.

we must eliminate the starter clutch at this point. I agree it "might" be the starter clutch .... or something in the jug .... or bad bearings ..... But whatever it is shows up under compression but not with the spark plug removed. That should give us a clue (I know, it STILL might be the clutch ... but doesn't this make something else - like, maybe, valve timing - more likely?). Someone here should be able to point out the next most likely cause from among the many possibilities. I guarantee if I removed my spark plug , my starter clutch would not have slipped like it was doing . the compression makes it that much harder for a slipping starter clutch to turn the crank. I would imagine if bearings where bad you would hear some noise. It is still hard to say what is wrong , but at this point he has to tear something apart and the side cover is not hard to do . |

have to post picks of the starter clutch and the clutch gear. he will hae to look for signs of slippage on the outer inner part of the gear where the rollers contact it. the first time mine went bad i didnt see much damage but after replacing it everything was perfect. of course the first time i just had a weird noise no issue starting , but the second time i had the same issue when trying to start.

it will take him no more than an hour to check the starter clutch. the only issue is that he will need a flywheel puller . he dosent need a starter clutch nut socket. he can use a pair of vise grips on the starter clutch nut and a socket wrench on the variator nut to remove the starter clutch nut and put it back on. just remember the starter clutch nut is reverse threaded. u can use a ssteering wheel puller on the flywheel , but you will have tto use one that will work.

OK, to be clear: We are waiting on Apricot to see if his engine turns over correctly by jump-starting from a known good car battery (car NOT running) directly to the screw on the starter where the large red wire attaches. The black jumper cable should attach to ground - if possible, directly to where the starter motor attaches to the case. I thought that was with the car running while revving it to about 6k rpm ? |

Good job ! You can eliminate the vacuum valve all together. The float valve will close the fuel off when the bowl is full. Many ATVs are setup that way. Well actually they do have a manual shutoff , but you can add one anytime. I never turned mine off unless I way working on it. It depends on the carb, mine leaks if I leave the shutoff valve open. If your carb leaks then the float valve is prob bad. |
