Strange one this

Postby neil64 » Sat May 25, 2019 8:31 am

Hi

I am running a mugelo 186, with a club man , and a delorto phbh26 carb .pretty standard set up these days . Starts fine ,I've jetted as to certain dealers website , pilot 50, atomized av 264, needle x4 ,mid clip . Rides ok up to 3/4 throttle then a slight 4 stroke then has the effect of cutting out . I'm currently at 100 main jet , any suggestions ?. Thanks in advance .

Have you checked flow from tap ? Might be running a bit slow, worth checking.

Also suggest you check which float bowl needle jet you have in it ;)

No, not the float bowl itself but the float needle jet

If its consistently cutting out at 3/4 throttle then that would suggest that the main jet is the issue. 100 sounds too small to me, try going up several sizes until it gets boggy above 3/4 and then come back down in stages. That throttle position corresponds to the transition from the needle/atomizer to the main jet.
As already mentioned, fuel flow could be an issue, Have you firstly checked the flow rate from the tap? (you should be using a fast flow tap with a Mugello) If you undo the pipe from the carb and put a bowl under it think you need to flow about 1/2 litre in a minute (check Stickies book).

That is a mistake, you really should simply check the flow of the tap then put a 118 main jet in.

Now changing carbs you're going to be jetting completely again and facing a different problem.

Try a different float bowl, a friend of mine has experienced issue with an alloy float bowl when changing from a plastic one, not sure of the reason but reckoned it was cured when reverting back to plastic one,
