Default RE: 2 Stroke HELP!!!!!!


ORIGINAL: voodoodb

I have a Magnum 1.8 2 stroke that I need help with. It has standard carb with low end in carb barrel and high end needle on side of carb. I am running 10% fuel with 20% oil. Master 18x8 prop. My problem is that I cannot get ity to run without the ni starter attached. It runs like a top with the ni starter attached, idle to full power. If I take it off, it dies instantly at idle as well as full power. I have tried fox miracle plug, OS type F and A5, plugs with the same results. Does anyone know why this is happening, and what to do to fix it?

Thanks

Check the head bolts as they might be loose or the needle settings are too rich. A hot plug works best on big glow engines. Enya3 or OSF should work great but lean out the idle needle until the engine runs steady without the glowbattry connected.
