Okay so I got in the ignitor like I said before and I finally received the thumbscrew AF mixture screws so I can adjust them easily.

I’ve put 108 mains and 38 stock pilots in right now with no shims and 3 turns out on the AF screws.

I put the enricher back on just as a baseline and it doesn’t want to idle right at all and hard to rev with it on.

It revs great and idles somewhat okay. definitely better than it did before but it still doesn’t like to properly return to idle. it hangs on return to idle around 4,500 rpm. it does return but it’s quicker to blip the throttle to make it return.

Before I tried to the 42 pilots from my Triumph it didn’t want to idle nicely.

I’ve got it running better than it has yet but idle still sucks.

What do y’all think I’m missing?



Also do any of y’all know what’s the difference with the three ignitors? There’s three model numbers over the years. Mine was the CA one and I bought one that isn’t the CA one, but that still leaves another one that’s not CA also.


I promise I’m not clueless. I have no idea why I can’t get this thing to run right. I guess I’m going to check the valves tomorrow.
