97 DS starting issue
Hey guys, i new here and i have been fighting an issue for a while. 97 ds will turn over and i hear the micro switches clicking when i hit the gas pedal but wont fire until i lift up on the gas pedal so it's just cracked a bit. So in a sense i hit the gas all the way down but takes 5 seconds or more to go unless i lift up on the gas and press just until the switches engage. I replaced switches, carb, fuel pump, lines and also the regulator ( wasn't charging the battery) . Do i need a new starter? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Re: 97 DS starting issue
Forgot to mention that i have a new battery in it as well. I've been reading on different threads that my symptoms could also be a bad rev limiter? i have good spark.

cut and pasted my response from another thread to save some typing :)

Also check the cable running from your governor to the carb itself. it should move perfectly freely, with no "sticking" at all. If this cable sticks at all it can cause issues like this as well, because it won't allow the throttle to close completely. |

Re: 97 DS starting issue
Perfect! i will give this a try. My only question is would this affect when the clutch engages? the engine will run and "chug" with the pedal pressed until i lift up on the pedal, then will engage.

Re: 97 DS starting issue
No it wont affect clutch engagement. The clutch engages when the engine hits a certain RPM. This is determined by thr preload in the spring inside the clutch. Your running and chugging is probably just too low of RPM for the clutch to engage.
