Hello...
Oscar, my BRAND NEW 2005 Whizzer NE5, starts happily and quickly for me, but then DIES.
Thanks to you all, I now know the proper choke lever positions, and also the Idle Mixture and Idle Speed adjustments.
When Oscar starts, I try to let him run at a fast idle (I turned up the idle speed screw to do this), but when I back off the throttle, HE DIES, even at a fast idle setting.
Then, when I maintain enough throttle to let it run continuously at a speed well above idle, and lower the choke lever to the "unchoked" position, OSCAR DIES.
Then I restart, and while again maintaining a speed well above idle, I move the choke a little toward full, and...OSCAR DIES.
All choke settings seem super-critical, and I don't know where it should be set when warmed up. (Off, of course!) My longest running time has been with the choke lever somewhere between full on and full off, both of which kill the engine.
But this is my latest experience: He starts quickly and runs at a fairly fast RPM for awhile (with me giving him some throttle, I'm guessing at about 2000-3000 RPM), but when I move the throttle or choke lever the slightest amount, HE DIES!
I haven't even had the chance to RIDE him yet, because of the constant death!
