Hi, have a Trac Escot, 50cc. After sitting for a while I emptied the carb bowl, put in fresh gas and checked the oil. When taking the carb off I took the top off and ended up putting the throttle linkage back in wrong.. it started and went to full throttle!! I drove it around the block and it ran really quick!! got home and corrected the linkage and now it will start with the choke and run a couple seconds then quit. If I block the air intake it will run without quitting but the moment I uncover the intake it quits. I have disassembled the carb and cleaned everything, it is getting gas and oil to the bowl, the float and seat are fine. Frustrating because it did run great at first - any suggestions on what to troubleshoot? thanks Daelim motor and Mikuni carb.

Re: Trac Escot 1986
Sounds like you didn't clean the carb good enough .
Every passage has to be pristine . Use brake cleaner through all passages and insure the cleaner comes out where it's suppose to .
Re: Trac Escot 1986
Hmm, I used carb cleaner in all the ports as well as a wire. Removed both jets and made sure they were clear. It pulls gas with the air port closed but doesn't seem to otherwise. I can clean again with brake clean but feel like something else is going on. thanks
Re: Trac Escot 1986
It's likely pulling fuel via the choke . Your hand on the intake is a poor man's choke .
Be sure you have the throttle cable hooked into the slide properly .
