G2 Not running right.

yelilly · 08-10-2009, 10:00 PM

A friend of mine has an 89 g2 he has replaced the fuel pump, and carb. It starts good and will run alright if you barely touch the gas, but if you give it more gas, it starts missing very bad. I took a spark plug and checked the fire it looks weak, small spark and yellow. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Earl

also look at the carb spacer if its not cracked

tie wrap that air box closed get a perfect seal it will run right

Went out checked the cart out good, started taking the airbox off and the carb. came off with it. Whoever put the carb on cracked the spacer tried to seal it up with silicone. I am ordering the spacer carb gasket and latches for the air box all broke off, and new air filter. Thank you everyone, I will let you know when I get the parts on how things go.

When you install the new spacer, be sure to just lightly tighten (snug only) the two 10 mm nuts. That spacer is very easily cracked.

thank you I will do that.

Got my parts today put the spacer and gasket on carb. sealed up the air box real good put a bead of silicone in the lid, put new straps on the lid. Same problem. What is proper adjustment on carb? It is new dont know who put it on but they left it that way with spacer cracked. I only see 1 adjustment screw besides the butterfly screw. I messed with it didn't help. I am leaning toward weak coil fire is very yellow. I have a cc the spark on it is blue. Some of you guys with a lot more knowledge than me your help , would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Earl

Cmon guys I really need your expertise. How do you check the coil to see if its weak or not. I know you check the resistance not sure of the steps. Don't mean to be a pain just need your help.

Thanks again Earl
