My 77 CH550 I bought ran for a couple of days then wouldn't start. Finally got around to investigating the carb and founds quite a few problems. I'm a novice and could use some advice.
Carb 1
Just pretty dirty.
Carb 2
Slow jet doesn't screw in tight. It was unscrewed rattling around the bowl. Trying a different slow jet in there does the same.
It goes in all the way without any resistance from the threads. The inside threads don't look too chewed up. Confused why it's not holding it.
Carb 3
Missing leaf spring on the main jet. No idea how it ran in the first place. Area around needle jet really chewed up. Needle jet doesn't go in all the way, but falls out freely.
Carb 4
The best one. Just a little dirty.
So I need a new spring for the main jet. Is the whole thing junk from the damage to carb 2 and 3?
All of the main jets are 98 and slow jets are 38.
Could clearly see light through all of them.
Thank you
