I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I'll post it anyway. I recently changed my spark plug, and when I pulled out the old one it looked like it had been getting too hot. Lots of carbon fouling, brown film on the electrodes etc. Well, I'm an airplane mechanic, and when I see this in an airplane engine I immediately think "lean mixture". That's fuel-air mixture. Granted airplane engines are quite different than a little Chinese 2 stroke, but the results would be the same. I suspect that I'm getting the lean mixture only at high power because there are times when I'm running wide open and the engine gives a momentary hesitation, almost like I've throttled back for a second. When I saw the plug it dawned on me, I'm not getting the right mixture. So I set out to find a better carb and I came up with this CNS carb at spooky tooth. I went ahead and ordered one from another site who had a slightly lower price. My reason for posting this is to ask: will this carb really give me the kind of control I need to correct the fuel-air mixture? Anyone have any experience with it?
