I fitted a scottoiler over the weekend, now she runs very rough, she seems to tick over on full choke, when choke in and add a few revs she dies.
Any one got any ideas
Scottoiler

Air leak on the vacuum pipe is most probable cause

Re: Scottoiler
I have checked double checked every hose connection that i disconnected, and double checked the new connection, did have a small snag as i forgot to check the vacuum to the petrol tap, but got that one sorted fine.

Have a Scotoiler on mine without any problems, so they do work OK
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!


Re: Scottoiler
Still think it’s down to running lean
Now you may call me a Richard for what I’m about to ask but you did fit a T piece off the original vac pipe for the fuel tap or plumbed in a new line to the spare vacuum take off on the engine for the vacuum control on the scottoiler didn’t you????

Re: Scottoiler
I plumbed in a new connection to the spare slot (bloody hard to get to mind). What i didnt do correctly was the vac line to the tap was on the wrong connection STUPID ME!!!!!!!!!!!
All sorted now running fine.
