Re: 1990 Rude 150 VRO skipping
Well here is an update to where the motor stands.
I rebuilt all 3 carbs, I must say that these new paper gaskets are the worst things around, I had to pull the carbs three more times to re-tork the screws because they kept leaking.
Anyway the motor has still be so so, runs good as soon as you start and go about about 5 minutes into the voyage the skipping begins.
What I fianally did last night after about a dozen trips with the motor running like poo, I pulled the 6 plugs that I just put in at the start of the year. Low and behold I found one plug still looks like it came out of the package with a quick wipe of the finger. I have checked spark before and there is spark present but it looks like a weak orange spark and not that bright bluish spark that you want to see.
Needless to say my new coil will be in tomorrow, I think after I swap that one out I should be good.
Thoughts?
I want to thank everone who has replied to this thread but I think I finally narrowed it down, the good news is all the carbs have been rebulit and all the gas lines have been changed. I guess that dosent hurt, plus it has not been done in the past 3 years that I have owned the motor, nevermind how many years the prior owner had it.
Thanks again and will keep it posted on the status.
