Hi beg,
Put in new seals 2 weeks ago. They are in flat and square. No lateral crank play noted. It seems like the engine isn't getting enough gas on a hot start.
Cold compression per my HF compression tester is 120 cold, 100 hot. Spec is 100.
When cold, it runs to spec: Max rpm 3050 -3080, spec is 3050+/- 100., idle is 2450 -2490, spec is Cranks on second pull, too!!! Has loads of torque. It runs like a champ till I shut it off and have to restart after 5 minutes. Max speed after hot start is 2900 and idle has decreased to 2100. Sounds like 5 o'clock Charlie's airplane on MASH. Just like it's not getting gas, but why only on a hot start? This condition could last anywhere from a couple of minutes , or doesn't go away. I've been thru and thru the carb. I'm wondering if the needle is sticking the bore after the carb gets hot? Seems a fuel issue, I just don't know where to look.
All advice appreciated,
Thanks,
Jim
