Hi,
I recently bought a1989 ETZ 301 which was easily started but needed 3000 rpm before it would pull away from a standing start. I investigated the carb and found the main jet in the bottom of the bowl. I installed the main jet, thinking I had found the problem, but now it won't start, although it kicks me back and nearly breaks my ancle. When it was running badly it still went like a bat out of hell above 4000 rpm. The new plug is wet, the carb has been adjusted -surely that leaves only the timing? It has electronic ignition which has VEB written on the alternator and a Piranha black box, but the Haynes manual has no instructions on how to set the timing! Am I right about kicking back? Can anyone tell me , in words of three syllables,please, how to check and set the timing?
