|
my NF seems to be running rich; The spark plug sooted up and |
|
stopped sparking until I cleaned it; Is there a mixture |
|
adjustment on the carb or could it be a worn needle? Many |
|
thanks for any info, |

Could be any number of things. |
|
The only adjustment is the pilot jet which has little influence |
|
above tickover. |
|
When my plug has fouled with soot, it's usually been caused by |
|
failure of the coil (twice) and condenser (once). |
|
If you're sure it's carburettor, the first thing to check is the |
|
enrichener plunger. There's a rubber seal at the bottom which is |
|
supposed to stop fuel passing except when the enrichener is |
|
open. The rubber hardens and perishes, and can then allow fuel |
|
to pass even when the enrichener (choke) is closed. |
|
Obviously, make sure the cable for the enrichener is seated and |
|
adjusted correctly, so the plunger is fully down. |
|
That's the most likely cause. |

Had a similar issue with mine when i first got it years ago , |
|
it was the choke cable seating at the carb , the cable wasnt |
|
returning the plunger fully , i replaced the cable and adjusted |
|
it , no problem since |
|
