i need help tuning my tanaka 47cc motor. it was acting weird... it would start if you're pulling the throttle, but die as soon as you let go.
so i tuned it according to the recommendations. H needle 3/4 open, L needle 1 and 1/4 turns open, but the same problem. I moved the L to 1 and 1/2 turns open
the engine does seem to flood easily, so if i had to guess, i'd say i'm running it too rich. but i don't want to break it by running lean
i've never tuned a 2 stroke before, so i don't want to mess it up. please tell me what i should do.
the spark plug is fine.
ps... when i first got it, it ran great. lots of power, but i think it's just out of tune. the guy i bought it from had it tuned before the summer, then it just sat all summer
thanks.
