brshee Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Hey I'm new to 2 strokes.I bought one and had it rebuilt.Just got it out and it runs fine,but kinda sputters when not revved up.Is this normal? Also,it won't idle to good.What I mean is it will idle,but wants to cut out then finally after a while stops running.If I am riding it and have it revved up and pull in the clutch and try to gear down if I don't catch the gear before it revs down it dies. Now the builder told me to run this tank of gas through and come back to adjust the carbs and something about the float.I called earlier because gas was dripping out of the bottom of the carbs.He said with the float like that it will drip just cut off the gas. Ok I didn't want to bother him again today.So is this just a adjustment problem or what? thanks God bless Quote
AKheathen Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 did he say anything about the oil ratio for that tank of gas? if he's wanting to run it rich on oil, then he should've adjusted the carbs for you. put some new plugs first, then adjust your airscrews untill it reaches the highest rpm's. the little screws at the front shifter side of the carbs. turn them in untill it stops, then back out 1.5 turns and adjust from there, while it's warmed up Quote

AKheathen Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 32-1 is what he said to mix it at..using benoil then it's probably loading up with fuel because of the float needle. is it all stock? Quote
