I have spent quite a bit of time modding 990-813- ect. Whaiti do to these guys is mod the butterfly valve. I have went tru dozens of new butterfly valves, Trial and error. I have hit the sweet spot on the 813. This is one good carb with the accelator pump!! Thing is with the 813, ya just pump the throttle 2-3 times, It lights right up. These larger engines really rip with this carb- off the bottom the modded 813 launches quite a bit harder than the 990 because of the pump and butterfly mod- This is in 80-85 degree weather. When it gets colder I will put a slightly lighter rate pressure spring in. This spring is somewhat like changing the power valve on a Barry Grant, or Holly full scale carb- The timeing of fuel enrichment. Man do i love working on these cars-engines!!!!! Ya know? the way we all bust our butts at work, we deserve to have this hobby, no matter if our work is mental or blue collar- we need quality time. - never say this to the woman, -quality time!!!lol!

I run the 813 on three of mine and just pump the throttle 3-4 times and they start 2nd or 3rd pull usually. Oh don't get the quality time thing started that does stir up shit lol.

 

[kevinmt]

lol you arent kidding about quality time.thanks for the info. do you think the 813 is better than the 990?

Remember your plug color is showing WOT condition, not the idle.

You should not run those off road. They leak air/dirt through the lever.

 

[rchobby89]

I forgot about that so maybe I need to richen the low speed a touch rc dad

 

[Guest]

Are you priming before you start?

 

[rchobby89]

ya I prime the crap out of it usally I put my finger over the carb for the first pull then it will start in like 3 pulls its also like 60 dagrees here

 

[Guest]

I bet if you richen it up a bit and increase the idle stop screw also it will start easier.

Richen the LSN half a turn, then pull until it tries to start. Then lean the LSN half a turn and give it another pull. Should fire right up.

Negative. Those are trash. They'll let dirt in.

 

[blak__jak]

deluge when you say that they are trash and let dirt in which carb are you talking about. i'm mixed up but that ain't nothing new!

 

[GTS 666]

Referring to the choke plates I believe.

 

[Deluge]

Yep, the choke plate. They're no good.

 

[Guest]

It has an opening after the filter where dirty air can enter and get sucked into the engine. The product was not designed for off road RCs. Goped guys use them but strictly on the street.

 

[Deluge]

Not really needed, anyway. The 990 is super easy to start without a choke.
