I've got a Weed Eater motor, around 20cc and when I start it up I give it some gas it'll stall on me soon later. Also if I start it up and don't touch the throttle it'll stall too. So it seams that if I give it some gas it stalls on me and if I don't give it any gas it makes no difference, it still stalls. I'm not sure where to start and i figured someone could lead me in the right direction.
 
I'm afraid I can't help. Right now I don't know enough about these motors. I have a bunch of weedeaters that I intend to put on bikes, but right now my knowledge is limited.
 
Does the carb have H-L screws??? If so Turn both screws all the way in , then turn the low screw 1 full turn out then the high screw 1/2 turn out. It worked for me, hope this works for you.
 
Well I know it has a H (high) screw and it has an idle screw. Is the idle screw the L (low)?

Most of the time even if im not even touching the throttle the motor will rev really high and then bog down and stall.
 
The H and L Screw screw is not for IDLE. There should be a seperate screw for that, look at the end of your throttle cable. It is attached to a lever. The lever is spring loaded, Now when the lever springs back it hits the ( IDLE Screw ). Post a pic of your Carb if you can. More than likely the screws got moved from stock. Once i fiddled with my screws(made about 4 adjustments) then got it to go smooth without bogging down when i gave it full throttle. Does this help> http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?t=8498

Okay there is only one screw, not sure whether or not its the H or L . There is also an idle screw that meets up with the throttle. Im not sure if the one screw is the H or L. It has L on one side and H on the other. Take a look at the pic.
