Re: [T3] engine questions



Jerry=> it wants to keep running unless i rev it up 

This could be related to several factors: stuck cutoff jets, a misadjusted 
carb float, even overheating. If you suspect that your carbs are not in 
sync, you should sync them up regardless of what else is going on. 

=> how often do my valves need to be adjusted?

At least every 3000m, more if the engine is new. 

=> there is a slight tapping only when i gun the gas pedal. 

Check your timing and advance, this could be detonation.
