The original routing of the fuel line is straight out of the gas tank, down underneath the engine (right underneath the stator), across and up to the fuel pump. Could the routing of the fuel line be causing the gas line to not feed gas properly? I might suggest ensuring the gas lines are not kinked at all... If the carb is starved for gas, it would make sense that it is surging thus spitting out excess gas since it may not be flowing smoothly...
Just one more thing to check...
I haven't checked the fuel lines yet, but I had another question, is the check valve required in the tank? Reason I'm asking is the original that way in the tank was plugged up, so I took it off and ran a new line into the tank (weighted down) without a filter. Do you think not having a check valve would be a problem?
Also I went to the store last night and bought me a timing light (never had one, never used one before) firing the engine back up today, at idle looks like the engine is running 3-4deg advanced. The service manual states to check the timing at 6000RPM's of course the engine sounds like its only hitting 800-1100RPMs at most. So I start throttling up the engine Idle is sitting around 600-800 RPM's (Guesstimating here) Slowly throttling up right around 1000-1100 RPM's just barely enough to catch the belt, the engine increase sound pauses then starts to stutter a little bit, meanwhile at idle up until it stutters the timing light keeps increasing flashing to keep up with the motor, as the motor starts stuttering, the timing light starts intermittently flashing, no gas out the back of the carb at this point, as I start throttling up more (as engine has a little hesitation) gas then starts jetting out the carb
Now keep in mind the original CDI I was using had no increase of RPM, after replacing the CDI with another bought on ebay, I now get a small increase of RPM's (again im guesstimating around 1100RPMs) enough to start opening the clutch, but not enough to grab the belt
I also bought a spark plug tester, and threw it inline with the spark plug and it would constantly blink until the engine started hesitating and would as intermittently blink, the instructions with the spark tester said ignition issues
Do you guys think it would be the CDI? I bought another and was hoping it would have been here today, but post office says Monday
I bought this one:
