While the snow situation hasn't been that great, I've at least been able to take the Jag out for a few laps each weekend up North.
It's taken quite a bit of pulls to get started after sitting for a week. The Puma will usually light up in 3-4 pulls; the Jag takes a dozen or more. Once the Jag has warmed up, it fires up no problem at all. Fuel lines look good once it's running; no bubbles.
The Jag has: All new fuel lines, completely rebuilt carb (and a spotless pilot jet) fuel pump has been rebuilt with a rebuild kit. Plugs were newish looking when I picked it up. Compression is at 120psi in each cylinder. Impulse line is new.
I did have to adjust the choke plunger a bit in the off season; I may have to go back and measure the freeplay to ensure it's dialed in.
Gas is fresh and the tank is full. I have noticed a slight leak if I leave the shed on the steep angle of the shed ramp for a bit of time; I think it may be gas coming out of the breather.
Let me know what you guys think. Not sure what to check out next. :dunno:
