Hello,
I have an Elto Cub/Mate which runs, but needs some carb adjustments. Anyone know where I can buy a new cork poppet bumper? Mine is a bit worn / compressed after much use. I hope I am using the proper terminology to identify the part.
Thank you in advance,
PejmanSeptember 26, 2024 at 10:00 am #291110These things are normally finicky and can require minor adjustments when running. But for them to run the best there can’t be any dirt in the system. To be sure the system is clear, remove the poppet valve assembly. Put a clean paper towel under the carb assembly, turn on the fuel for a bit, catching the fuel and any dirt that may be in there. Then remove the poppet valve and the mixture screw, and flush out the poppet valve assembly, also over a clean paper towel, checking for dirt. Keep doing this till there is no dirt getting into the system and the first thing to check anytime the motor should start requiring more mixture adjustments that normal. Tubs
