RMPC Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have a 1980 Brat with original motor and carb. It seems that it if is hot outside or I run it for an extended period that it gets hot and will die. Sometimes it will idle fine but as soon as I turn it off its hard to start. I can restart it but it takes a minute. Sometimes it won't stay running until it cools down. I tried having the carb rebuilt but it didn't help. Any help or experience would be great. Thanks!

mikaleda Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 sounds like it needs to be tuned or possibly a timing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Poor ignition components. Coil, module, plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Test - then replace. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
