I make my living as an Industrial Engineer/hands on mechanic/machinist and have been fixing my own stuff since I was 6 years old. NOT giving up and finding the solution has always been my specialty and put food on the table. What this has taught me though is that sometimes it's more cost effective to sub projects out to those who specialize in certain areas. Mutt is one of those and that's why I contacted him. As the webmaster I chose to remain neutral in endorsing any particular vendor or member. I chose Mutt to address my problem and he did. I would suggest a telephone call to him. The object is to get the job done. Best of Luck. Resurrecting historical antiques is not always as easy at it might appear. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- O.K. I give. Can I send Mutt the carb to be fixed? I don't think I need a complete engine overhaul but am willing to ship the whole thing to someone who can make it right. Maybe cost prohibitive but I would like to get it done. This project has a lot of history for me. The start of a great 50 + years of biking and a lot of great memories. Thanks so much for the help. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Yep, very similar ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hey Mutt, doesn't this sound like the carb problem you fixed on my Scat motor? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- 62 Scatt resurrected from 30 + years rusting outside somewhere. I went to school for aircraft mechanics and am handy with engines. Actually have some experience with this model which I owned when I was 14. It was new then. Do the math. I am about 75% done and working on getting the engine to run consistently. Looking thru the exhaust port the cylinder walls and piston head looked very clean and I get good compression. I have replaced all the mag and spark components and had the mag rotor re-magnetized by Stan Waite. It came back from Stan super strong so I know that is not the issue. I did not replace the ignition coil as the spark is now good. Carefully cleaned and rebuilt the carb and triple checked adjustment recommendations. Just took it apart again and all looks good. Replaced the oil seal behind the mag. The problem: The bike will bump start with effort. Will run at high speed with the choke off and 1/2 choke to run at just above a proper idle. No amount of carb adjustment will improve this condition. All the gears run out and everything else is good but the erratic engine speed. Not road worthy. I really don't know where to go from here.
