A friend of mine that has been around 2-strokes for awhile drove it and said it felt like it was running lean. (slight hesitation, sputtering, and backfiring during mid range)
I ended up putting a half washer on the needle so its now at 4 1/2. Well now I got more issues. At first the slide wouldn't go down on one side of the carb but I didn't realize it and tried starting it. I got that fixed and couldn't get it running so we push started it. It won't idle at all but WOT it works...sometimes. As soon as I let off it stalls. All I changed was the needle 1/2 a size richer. It's my first time actually playing with the carbs by myself so could I have put something back together wrong?
p.s. I also changed the plugs but it ran good before I even took it apart.
Help me please
