Hi all,

some updates from me. the engine did not get to idle well and only run when the choke was partially opened, will die out immediately when choke fully open. Engine was stuggling to lift at all, and seems very hot.
as suggested by Glenn, i cleaned the carby and all changed. this is the video taken after the carby is cleanned.

Thanks a lot folks!

Hi Lawrence,

Beside replacing the caskets for the carb. You need to check the engine compression. Check your piston and piston rings which cause the choke cannot fully open to run the engine smoothly.
