I recently acquired a 97 Phazer SS electric start. The carbs weren’t working well and I was only able to run it on full or half choke. Flipping the choke off acted as if someone hit a kill switch. I pulled the airbox to inspect and clean and the carbs. First time off I just did a quick clean of the bowls and main jets. One main tube was stuck in and I couldn’t get it out so I just sprayed carb cleaner through it. At the time I didn’t know that the pilot jets were under the rubber plug. Anyway I put them back on and it ran with identical symptoms.
Round 2 I pulled the carbs again and this time pulled the rubber plugs. I can’t get either pilot jet out and have damaged the ears even with a well fitting screw driver and heat and penetrating oil. Still can’t get the other main tube out either. But I soaked the carbs in carb cleaner bucket over night and sprayed compressed air followed with carb cleaner through everything. Everything appears to be clear as I can spray through it and get exit somewhere else.
Now the sled won’t start at all. Sometimes it gets a tiny blip of a start but immediately dies. I thought maybe I damaged the throttle safety switch so I attempted disconnecting the wires to remove this from the equation while I trouble shoot. It appears with it disconnected I get no spark at all. I thought disconnecting it should remove it from the system and it should still run without this safety feature perhaps I am wrong.
With it plugged back in I get a spark but no start. I am at my wits end with this thing I guess I am looking at finding a set of carbs since I can’t get the jets out of this one for a proper cleaning.
Anyone have any other ideas?
