Another VOES question
How do you tell when a VOES switch is going bad or gone bad???
I am at the end of my rope trying to figure out why my scoot is running like doo-doo.
I just installed a new Mikuni 42 because my other carb was junk and figured my problem would be solved but NOOOO.
It starts and idlles the best it ever has but it spits and backfires though the carb wicked bad until it warms way up which is something that never happened before.
When it warms up for about 5 minutes it is almost my a switch is thrown and the idle picks up a little and then is responsive to the throttle.
Someone please help me.
one more thing. It appears that the epoxy that the ignition pik up is encased in is real soft and almost melting.????????
Thanks in advance

Backfiring through the carb is a lean condition. You gotta confirm no vacuum/air leaks. If none are found, I'd try jetting up on the slow speed jet or adjusting the mixture screw if the Mikuni has one. It's going lean for some reason. Trying to remember(I removed my VOES switch) but isn't it basically like a vacuum advance on old cars? This shouldn't cause the problem you're describing unless the hose going into it is split or leaking.

the ol girl is back up and running! running great as a matter of fact.don't know what I did.
I did A VACUUM test and the v oes was fine. checked every electric connection and went one main jet size smaller in the mikuni and adjusted accelerator pump starting point.
I fired it up and low and behold she came to life with a roar.
Thanks to all who offered help and opinions.
