Jets from the factory can sometimes have as much as 40% fluctuation between the two. If you know someone with a flow bench, they can tell you if the jets are flowing correctly.

I want to be different like everybody else.

I'm going to draw this thread to a close.

This rig had been parked next to a barn for a couple of years, and had a few issues, the biggest of which is that it wouldn't idle.

I tried a couple of different OEM carbs, and no luck. I put on a Weber, and things improved alot, but had no power.

Recently there has been a flurry of posts regarding not being able to keep the engine running. In addition, I've seen several Luvs for sale locally with the same complaint. Several people have chimed in to check the voltage regulator. Why do I mention that? Because one of the differences between the Hitachi and Weber is that there are no electrical connections on the Weber. Related? I don't know. At least worth honorable mention.

As for the initial low power problem, most of it has been solved by rejetting the Weber. I took the jets from 135/127 to 145/130. It was a huge difference. Before, the engine would flatten out at 3000 rpm. Now, I've pushed it to 5000 with good acceleration. I believe there is some fine tuning to still be done on the jets, but it's a lot better now. The lesson here is that if you get a pre-owned Weber, get the spec sheet and compare it to what is actually in the carb. It might save you some frustration.

So, in conclusion, thanks to everyone who responded to my questions, prompted me along, and made sure I didn't get tunnel vision.

Off to the next problem!! See everyone on a future post.
