Hey everyone, I'd like to start by introducing myself, my name is Jaimen and I am from Portland Oregon...
Anyway I am somewhat new to this bike scene and completley new to carburators.... I have a mechanical background in cars, just never worked on anything old enough to have a carb...
so my problem is in order to get my bike to run i have to hold down the prime button till fuel comes out of the carb, then once its running it cuts in and out power, no power, power, no power... and does a little four stroking.... then will completley lose power no matter where i put the throttle, but will come back if i reach down and hold the prime button while i coast, but sometimes runs just fine... cant get it to idle though, either dies or the rpm skyrockets... no in between i have tried adjusting the idle screw played with the c clip on the slide needle a little... just looking for a little advise before i tear into this thing...
thanks in advance...
sorry for being a noob lol
