Ok. *I totally rebuilt the ignition on my 340 rotax. *I replaced the Points, Condencers, Coils, plug wires, and plugs. *
I set up the engine on the stand to start. *It started first pull but would not rev up. *Im guessing it was only reving half its potential. *It sounded like it was only running on one spark plug but when i take the spark plugs out they both have a good very powerfull spark. *
Do you guys have anyides. *
My thinking is that
1. *Somehow maybe my igniton timing is off.
2. *Carb is way out of adjustment since its so hot outside.
3. *Carb is dirty and maybe a jet or needle is blocked. *(The carb was really dirty on the outside.
I dought its number two. *but the carb seems to be spitting out a lot of fuel when i give it full throttle. *Does this mean that it cant use all of the fuel im giving it. *
Im starting to run out of ideas. *
But I have another question. *When installing the condencers which isnt easy. *I installed one but later needed to spin it to get the wires lined up right. *When i spined it i sort of crushed it and maybe damaged it. *How sensitive are these condencers and can they still work with a dent in them.
Thank you.
