Planet Minis - View Single Post - funny runny quiz TB 88cc kit -- I'm stumped

Thanks for all your suggestions / help people! But guess what?

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!! IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NEW ENGINE / CARB I PUT ON THERE ODDLY ENOUGH.

FOR SOME REASON, THE SCREW THAT THE GROUND WIRE HOOKS ONTO UNDER THE GAS TANK ON THE FRAME BACKED OUT AND WAS LOOSE (ALMOST FALLING OUT) AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME I TOTALLY REBUILT THE ENGINE!!!!! WHAT A MIND-NUMBING COINCIDENCE! THAT WAS THE WHOLE PROBLEM!

At Idle the engine did not produce enough vibration to make the connector and screw dance around and lose contact -- only when I really hit the throttle.

After a year and a half, just tightening a screw made it run PERFECTLY. It has TONS of SCARY power -- I wiped out first thing because of the physics-defying power burst, and my leg still hurts, but it is sweeeeeet. A mark of sheer joy now.

I would say that the money I spent on the TB 88cc kit was the best engine money I ever spent. Runs better than new, idles smooth, starts ridiculously easy with no effort.

I'M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS THING.
