Carburetor setup on 2-strokes
Ron, if it will idle now that's a good place to start. Keep in mind the low end is a little harder to set. The reason
is you don't get imediate results as it takes longer to burn the fuel out of the crankcase at idle. So make small
adjustments and wait 15 seconds between each one. First try and figure out if your rich or lean.
If it is rich it should lose RPM when you take the power sorce off the glow plug. It will then pick up
RPM when the hot shot is reattached. If it is lean it will die soon after it starts and get hot after two or three attempts. I am going to assume it's rich. Most are, as the factory sets them rich for breakin. All you need to do
is close the needle 1/8 turn at a time untill it will idle without the hot shot and without getting overheated.
It should idle several minutes with no problems. Make sure you kill the engine while adjusting.
If you can get it to idle without getting hot and without the hot shot changing the idle you should be
right on. Try this and let us know what happends. later daveo
