    Im having, what i think, is carburetor issues. i had trouble starting it but have narrowed it down to the auto choke. But once i manually open the choke and it warms up, i am able to drive it around but after about 15 minutes is bogs down when i press the gas.

    did you change the rev limiter ( what every one calls the governor control) the bog down sounds like a stopped up converter when it bogs down next time see if you smell a odor from exhaust and light colored smoke not oil smoke smell or gas smell its kinda weird smell

    also do not touch the converter pipe even after 10 min of engine off it will fry you if it is stopped up

    Thank you for your help. I will check that next time i ride it around. Switching from winter to summer config on the vacuum system wouldn't have anything to do with my problem would it?

    Hey sorry for some reason I just saw these msgs.
    I ordered new coil springs because my front end was bottoming out but I think it is the wrong size. They're 10" long 2 1/2" ID. I got 250lb coils. Is the ID too small?
    Thanks

    I took my Hi Jet S81P to Southern Automotive and they're bewildered about how to fix it, understandably so. I ordered a shop service manual on Ebay and brought it to them
