I've been having a problem getting this motor to start.
First I thought it was because of the low quality spark plug wire that comes with the engine, it wasn't giving spark as the "staple" type connector was loose. I replaced the spark plug wire with a piece of automotive coil wire, now it's getting great spark, so that isn't the problem.
I think the problem is in the air/fuel mixture but no matter how much I turn the adjustment screw it still won't start.
I can remove the spark plug and put a few drops of fuel directly into the cylinder then put the plug back in and pull the starter rope, and it will run for a couple seconds then stop after burning what is there.
Any suggestions, as right now it's a $500+ dollar project that is completely useless to me.
