| | Re: Brainstorm 2-stroke bogging with me.... Yes but I fixed mine and it did the same things as before so I cut one from a cereal box and I sealed it on both sides and it stopped. I had removed the manifold to work on the engine and broken the seal when I reinstalled it I didn't use gasket seal so it had a leak somewhere from not being sealed. it might seem that I have had about everything go wrong with mine because I DID |

| | Re: Brainstorm 2-stroke bogging with me.... The possibility exists that it is leaking....I'll get some gasket material tomorrow.
But also I do want to try the lean groove on the needle first.
If neither of those things work, I'll open the carb back up and check the float needle... |

| | Re: Brainstorm 2-stroke bogging with me.... OR that somehow my needle and jet fit are just defective. It's always done this even though I've rode the bike I never went full throttle without the booooooooggggggggg.....I just stayed away from that region, so to speak.
I will take the carb off again after I try the lean clip position.
I will measure the jet size....... |

| | Re: Brainstorm 2-stroke bogging with me.... Just so anyone reading this thread knows - I solved this problem with a new $22 same as carb and have yet to determine what was wrong with the old carb. |
