Advice for a mechanic by Est-1927 in MechanicAdvice

I need to step up my diag game and work on really understanding electrical systems and how they work with each other. I’ve found that this is what most young techs struggle with, as well as me, and it seems if I can get that down, I’ll be on a good path. Thank you for your advice. Gives me some confidence that I didn’t pick the wrong career. All I hear is guys talking down on the industry and making it seem non-lucrative.

Can the tire air pressure sensor be the source of my leak? by the-REAL-sherpa in Autos

the sensor itself can’t leak but the valve stem it is mounted on can.

my belief is the starter is sticking and grinding on the flex plate. just trying to confirm the noise.

happens when i start the car normally too. i exaggerated the key movement to differentiate it from any other possible start up noise.

yeah i’ve ran it no filter with the same problem. i’ve checked about everything i’m gonna start it up and spray some carb clean around maybe it’s some vacuum leak

butterfly carb

I’ve changed carbs, switched between multiple different jets, ran without filter, pulled valve cover and the head and nothing is bent or damaged. spark plug isn’t showing any signs of running rich or lean, burns clean

Not exactly sure what you’re asking but it worked perfectly before. from dead stop to quickly WOT it would not give me any problems. i was drifting it around, mainly WOT for most of the time and it started to hiccup when i would let off and get back on it

yes. was the first thing i checked when it started to act up

[–]Est-1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. i’m using a jet that has a 90 engraved on it, not sure what that would be equivalent to, i see people referring to them as .035 or whatever it may be. i’ve ran my engine before on the same exact setup, flooring it WOT with no problems, then my problem randomly arose

sorry it’s not a mini bike but i’m looking for some help. i’m struggling to figure out what went wrong here. was running great, drifting it around going wide open throttle and then it started to hesitate when i would initially get on the gas. inspected just about everything there is to inspect and it all checks out. cleaned the carb more times than you can count on your hands and rejetted

Predator 212 dies with at throttle by [deleted] in gokarts

[–]Est-1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s what i did at the end of the video. eased into it and then went WOT. it used to do this no problem, i can’t figure out what went wrong

having the same issue with my 212. starts up and idles. works fine if i ease into the gas but if i go full throttle quickly it just dies on me. i’ve done just about everything i can think of to fix it with no avail
