new engine running rough

They don't run the best when you first get them going it will take some time to for it to brake in and you can turn in the idle screw to get it to idle.
There's going to be people whine about you using the 32/1 mix starting out but since you've got it mixed use it or add about 1 oz of oil to the gallon mix its best to run them oil rich for the first couple of tanks of fuel then go to what ever kind of mix you like. I don't really see it a problem to go with the 32/1 mix right off the bat myself, I don't baby these engines they are red headed step childern to me so have fun.

Norman is right. They run rough new. I suggest replacing the spark plug wire and making sure there are no intake leaks. Also make sure fuel is flowing well.

What is your plug gapped at?

I assume your fuel is freshly mixed with fresh gasoline.

Ride it for a while, get it hot. Then check your spark plug.

My new one ran rough for a few days.

I would experiment with different needle settings in the carb. May help. Good luck.
