 Re: 2 stroke bicycle engine - getting richer with break-in??
You do have a fuel filter on it don't you. These engines are I'll say almost the bottom of the barrel in being well make very sloppy tolerances. I'm even wanting to say rejects are being sold to us and we are happy to get them. As you ride your carbs metal parts are also takin a seat or mating/wearing in so you might need to lean out the needle one notch. Or your float needs to be adjusted so the float chamber is not so full of fuel that its leaking out of the float gasket. Sometimes I think these little engines think up ways to pizz us off. I'm wondering about a good American or German spark plug with the proper thread reach and heat range.I will sometime check into it I'd like to know just what the china plugs letter/number mean in thread reach and heat range then I would kind of know that to look for in a champ or bosh plug. All well I'm in no big hurry its warn here and good weather to go ride but I'm tired and still messing with all you guys on this forum. |
