We live at between 6500 and 10,000 ft. here and I have tried everything I can find online to fix the "way too rich" situation to no avail. Help!
1. 3 times over every gasket is sealed every bolt is tight, including the carb to the carb pipe thing going into the head. Yes exhaust too.
2. The chain is straight as an arrow and perfectly tight.
3. All the electrical is functioning properly, getting great spark from this NGK plug.
4. Air filter is sealed, working and fully open.
5. Timing looks right doing TDC test and looking at magneto, comparing to online pics
The bike still 4 strokes when idling and bogs down when given gas.
So, must be too rich right?
6. Soldered the jet closed and poked tiny hole with high E string from guitar. Opposite problem.
7. Widened hole with pin and blow torch. Back to too rich again.
8. Inserted high E string into carb jet (after removing all solder and using original jet size): too rich
9. Doubled string: too rich
10. Used B string end #24 (then doubled): too rich still
11. B string with coiled wrapping (almost blocks jet entirely): won't start.
Can anyone tell me where to just buy a jet that is the correct size for my altitude? Please? It's fun for me to MacGyver stuff but this is too much.
Thanks
