I have searched the forum for this but I can't get my hands wrapped around a good solution for my problem. I have worked on 2 stroke motors before and 90% of the time I can figure them out so, I am not totally ignorant as far as the motor is concerned, just this style of motor is new to me.
Problem: I have a RAW brand motor I bought used on a bike already. I can get it to start but and idle for a short time. Once it does start it runs extremely rough, and has no power, it will not throttle up, and smokes like a train. The kicker is that I have fooled with the carb and every now and then it will run and run strong. I took the slide out to see if it was in the right direction as I have seen discussed on here. I think its in the right way ,but nobody ever says which way its goes, they just say its not in correctly. I checked the bowl to see if the jet had fallen out of it and it wasn't in the bowl. Once after it ran rough, I stopped it and took the plug out and it was wet. I am thinking it is flooding itself out somehow but I am not sure. I took the breather off it just so it would get the max amount of air and it still floods. I also took the muffler off because I thought it might be stopped up but it ran the same with it as with out it. Any suggestions????
