Hey guys.
So i finally got my 80cc 2 stroke on the bike and running.
My problem is it runs awfully rough, and stalls on idle (which im hoping that adjusting the idle screw will help or even fix)
I hear a lot of popping when running a fairly open throttle.
Ive run it for 2x 3-4min runs up the road once i got it going, and have only opened up the throttle for a second or two once i reached speed, the rest was barely open cruising at 25km roughly, and at this stage it runs smooth.
I guess my question is - is this normal for a break in? Ive never owned a 2 stroke before and have next to no knowledge on these things. Will the high end smooth out and idle come down to normal once i break it in a little more?
My manual said 16:1 for the first 2 tanks, then 20:1 and a good fully synth oil after that. I made sure i mixed the oil precisely.
Hopefully this is just me being too cautious and it will all turn to normal after a few tanks!
Cheers!
EDIT: as soon as i put the clutch in at speed, the engine dies. Not sure if this is meant to happen but i assume its meant to drop down to an idle before i release the clutch again?
