Ok. so i have been through the forums the last three weeks, on this site and another trying to get SOMEWHERE with my thumper.
short story: no luck
It will start and idle fine, with any throttle she will try to die, release the throttle and will go back to its happy idle.
if i give just a tiny amount of throttle (and stop before it tries to die) RPM will continue to rise, and once i get RPM high enough i can snap the throttle wide open and it will respond, but will spit fuel out of the carb.
now i know the usual suspect, the boot, however i just got dan's superboot delivered today, and installed with no difference in what it has been doing at all.
i have also put a new plug in, with proper gap.
new plug wire (i am getting consistent spark)
new diaphragm/slide
new intake manifold gasket/o ring
i have cleaned the jets (165 and 45 it has a vance n hines pipe)
i have drilled out the idle air screws plug, and tinkered with that.
i have reset the float (which i will be testing to see if it helps after work tomorrow)
the gas was not premium, but it was fresh gas, so i dont see any issues being cause by separation in the tank.
i have checked the voltage on my TPS, and that is at .6v and aside from one small jump (from 1.4v to 1.6v) it is smooth the rest of the way, and i do have a new tps ordered, should be in next week.
EDIT: i have also tried running with the gas tank lid off with no difference either way.
at this point im just at a loss. any help, any ideas would be much appreciated. im just starting to get discouraged that i might have put this money into it without much posibility of finding the issue...
