Re: Fuel Issue...
I am guessing that I mis read the info on the voltage regulator.
I thought it was needing to be replaced if I grounded the yellow post on the starter and saw 16+ volts.
I put a new one in yesterday and it acted the same as before, rev engine and see nearly 18 volts when wound up.
I was thinking that was telling me regulator was bad and allowing overcharging.
So I guess I replaced it even though it wasn't needed.
I did see inside the "box" for the first time.
Got to see the rev limiter and it's micro switches in there, starter relay, etc...
Noticed the "breather" hose from the top of the engine was cut off.
Looked like it was supposed to connect to intake/carb right near the rubber hose from air cleaner box.
Felt a lot of "blow by" when running.
Guessing there may be a good amount of wear and tear on this motor.
I ran new hose wondering if anything would be different since so much pressure coming out top of motor.
About the same as before.
Maybe dig into tearing carb down, cleaning, etc if time allows soon.
OR
Still thinking I better hit the neighbor or have another "professional" take a ppek.
THANKS again for everyone's help and advice.
