Hi all
Ive recently rebuilt my gas bike. I believe it is a skyhawk GT5 motor that I put on a GX7 frame and wheels. I had to add some spacers onto the throttle cable to stop the outer sheath from moving. Its not perfect but it did mostly solve that part of the issue. The current problem is that I can only get this motor to stay running while at around 1/2 choke. With the CHOKE wide open (not engaged) the motor would not start at all. I tightened the idler screw clockwise and was able to get it to run fairly decently with around 1/2 choke. It is definitely not at full potential once moving and running at full throttle. Also before I tightened the idler screw when attempting to start as I would twist the throttle it would almost sound like the motor was bogging down.
does this mean the motor is running to rich? which way do I adjust the "C" pin on the carb needle up or down?
any and all help is appreciated!!!
