OK, cant get one of my Mc91's tuned. Fussed with carb. After rev up idles way down almost stalls, then revs up to high idle. Acting like an air leak... Switched carbs because it's easy. No change. Pull engine, pressure check holds 18-20 lbs all day..... Check timing, dead on. Reinstall carb and header and put back on kart. Won't start!! Got spark, got compression, got fuel..... Scratching head.

I haven't gone out there yet but I left it all open hoping to dry it out over night. I took it off to pressure check it. There may have been a load of fuel in the crankcase and I had it tipped all directions checking pressure. Tried plug. Saw fuel going through carb. I'll pull another engine out of the box if I gotta...... Leaving for Avon Thurs AM
Fuel line clamped to carb w/ safety wire. It's getting fuel.... Still hoping for a flooded engine

I switched the engine with a fresh one off the shelf... I'll see how it works when we get to Avon later today. It's on my dual so if it doesn't work, I'll run something else. That dual whips my ass anyway....
I'll look into that other engine later. I'll post if I find anything conclusive.

I had a similar problem with an 820. One of the reed petals had broken off. It ran, but ran very funny, including funky idle.
