Another Newbie here - I just put together my first 2 stroke 48cc bike. It's acting really strange. I live in the White Mountains in AZ, and THINK I have the idle adjustment screw right, but it NEVER seems to idle!!! I have to control the speed and throttle by pushing in the kill switch. THAT ISN'T right.
I took a ride down the hill (neighboring town maybe 3 miles away) to show the ride to my buddy, and we noticed all kinds of condensation on the air filter (too much gas). So I backed out the idle adjustment screw another turn. On the way home, the bike makes it okay on flat ground, but then dies half way up a half mile hill.
I am wondering is it something I did incorrectly, or am I screwed going thru different altitudes? These 2 strokes are pretty basic, so am I gonna have to just search to find a decent 'happy-medium'?
