Point taken, D-I-Y

However, I have always hated clutches (as you know) and thus have zero experience in setting the Walbro run with them, thus anything I say will be (more) guess work (.... than usual!)

For me, however, it's the problem with the Walbro delivering most of its fuel via the slow running jet when running at speed and only a fraction via the main jet. That's clearly ludicrous as the engine uses most of the fuel while the butterfly is open and THAT should be delivered via the main fuel load.

I spent a long while trying to get the Walbro working as it should with the high speed jet delivering most of the fuel and the low speed jet delivering a small enough amount of fuel, mainly, when the butterfly is closed. That's how it was designed...... but it's just plain SLOW if you use a Walbro set like that.

The implication is that the carb is compromised in that the slow jet is delivering far too much fuel to work properly when the clutch has disengaged which is when the slow speed jet SHOULD be doing its job.

With ZERO experience of a clutched TKM, that's the best (and worst) that I can do.

My suggestion?

1) Ditch the Walbro and fit a Tillotson (against the rules, I know)

2) Ditch the damned clutch (as you said I'd say!)

Sorry to be so useless on this one but that's the reason I didn't post on that subject.
