1985 Honda Odyssey FL350

-

I purchased this Odyssey about four months ago and was told it only needed a carb. After trying to get it to run I did a compression test on it and it only had 60psi. So I had the top end rebuilt, with a brand new Weisco piston and pin. The jug was bored and the exhaust bridge was relieved to specs. The oil holes were drilled in the piston (all stuff the Odyssey people say are essential for maximum longevity of the engine). The engine now has 135-140 psi, but still runs rough. I have done the crankcase leak down test on the engine and it held 7psi for an hour. The engine will crank first or second pull almost every time (the battery is weak). it idles GREAT! but when you go to accelerate the engine bogs down, I believe it is flooding. The plug is when you pull it out. you can play with the throttle and get it moving and sometimes it will do fairly good, but most of the time it floods out. I have a new spark plug in it and another that will go with it. EVERYONE I have talked to tells me a $200 carb will fix my problem. BUT I am spent out and my patience is GONE. I have lost all interest in the project. There are multiple Odyssey parts suppliers as well as forums that have been lots of help, but I am done. You can get an assortment of carbs for just under to just over $200. I have over $2700 real dollars in this and I cannot spend any more. I am offering this at NO reserve. I have seen them on here sell for much more than I am asking and in worse shape. So I am taking my chances. I have also put a brand new fuel pump on it, all new fuel lines, new intake with high flow filter and k&n cover to keep out dust and moisture. It has brand new tires on the front, and could use some on rear before long. Drives great, and brakes work. I have some of the original air box parts that will go with the vehicle. I also have the complete service manual I will include. Please let me know if you have any questions. As you can see I have 100% positive feedback and I plan to keep it that way. I will deliver Odyssey to shipping hub in Columbus GA for free (about 30 miles form my house) other than that ALL shipping is purchasers responsibility. It could also usa a new gas cap, it fits pretty lose. Also included is a new carb jet kit I just paid over $50. I am no carb man, so it did me no good.
