I am having another problem with this damn Tilotson carb on my 69 Olympic 335cc. I put another new filter on it and cleaned the carb again. I have already put a rebuild kit into it.
The sled starts no problem and will idle fine. I drove it around for around 10 minutes before it started bogging down. This lasted for around 5 minutes, I was able to feather the throttle and it would take off again.
Then it would bog down and I would have to play around with the choke lever just to get it to rev up enough to get it into the garage.
What could this be? I played around with the high and low needle settings and it didn't make a difference.
Is it running lean and when I give it some choke it runs richer?
Let me know what you guys think. I hate this damn carb!!
