Idles turned high; no throttle

[noyo]

Hey I have an 80cc 2 stroke. Idle screws turned all the way in or a bit lower; idles good under 2 mph; could probably keep it running at stop signs with my brakes. Also starts quicker with less pedaling when the idles turned all the way in. The difference is like 5mph 10 feet turned in vs 15mph 100 feet half way turned in. But It's not getting enough throttle to give it speed when all the way in. Just doesnt go. Goes up to like 10mph only. And also when I full throttle with the idle out/half/all the way turned in my engine bogs to near death/death on the low end. What do?


Idles turned high= stays on better but little throttle.

Full throttle = no go on low end. Bogs. Dies.

Sounds like you have an air leak. Spray som carb cleaner on your gaskets at the carb, base, and head. If the engine runs differently you have an air leak.

Either that or your throttle cable isnt adjusted properly at all. Idle screw (if you have an nt/bofeng style carb) should not affect mid-high range power at all
