So how do I teach my 2-stroke to stop acting like a 4-stroke?
I have a 47cc dax kit. It's basically new with about 38 miles on it, but it will only carry me to 23 mph with a 41 tooth sprocket. Some times, when all luck happens, it will 2-stroke for a split second. Then it goes right back to sputtering.
It has somewhere around a 25:1 mix (about a third of it synthetic), no air leaks, ngk plug gapped around 22, plug color is medium to dark gray all over. The muffler has been de-catted and has two 1/4" holes added to the baffle. Carb needle is on the second to leanest setting. I live at 936 feet elevation.
Is this to be expected? I'm sadly disappointed after what I have read about average experiences. Maybe I should've got a 4 stroke?
Either way, riding a MB is sweet. I have a Vstrom too, but this is fun in it's own way. Thanks for the help.
