Default Re: 2 stroke bicycle engine - getting richer with break-in??

I'll say the plug is definitely a real piece....try a new NGK first, then if it's still rich, change the needle.

It is possible that it can "get richer" since, after the engine starts to break in, will make more compression and draw a better charge into the cylinder each stroke.

Also, check your air cleaner element, mine got full of crud and spit back fuel relatively quick.
