Yes, Good News For Sure. My Grand Father Was "hans Olson", When I Was A Kid He Told Me That A Swede Was A Norwegian With His Brains Knocked Out!! Lol. Is That True!! He Also Said; That Norwegians Were Originally Germans That Moved North Aways (many Many Years Ago) And They Called It "norway". But I Have Never Heard That Any Where Else. Ron
Stop making fun of us norwegians
but in norway we think of the swedes as the stupid ones and we are the "smart" ones. but my oil mixture is some place between 60-70 ml oil per liter fuel. and i runs pretty well now. there are no air leaks, at least none i have heard/spotted and the idle rpm is just fine after i adjusted it a little bit with the screw on top of the carb.

dytesaft, THATS THE WAY I WROTE IT, A NORWEGIAN WITH NO BRAINS = SWEDE. REMEMBER, GRANDFATHER SAID IT, NOT ME. AND HE WAS JOKING. DID YOU GET TO RIDE? RAIN QUIT? I HAD TWO FLATS THIS MORNING ON MAB. THAT PUZLES ME! There should be a screw on the side of the carb, it points upward a little. it has a tappered tip. as you screw it in, it raises the slide (that brown thingie on the end of the cable with the needle in it) that adjusts your idle speed. then you ca have a little slack in your throttle cable. if that screw is out, the air leak may be ok, not sure.

i did get to ride it eventually when the rain stopped. no rain today either. so i will be driving it today with a friend to. and i didnt adjust the idle screw at the side. just the screw where the throttle wire comes down. i have a little slack the cable, but its not so much so i think it doesnt matter. but about the Norwegian - Swede thing i just read it fast yesterday and i thought it said a swede with no brain = norwegian.
dytesaft, YOU MAY WANT TO USE THE IDLE SCREW THE PROPER WAY, SO IT WILL NOT FALL OUT. JUST SCREW IT IN WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING AT IDLE. WHEN THE MOTOR STARTS TO RUN FASTER YOU CAN STOP. THEN LOOSEN THE THROTTLE CABLE SOME. NOW ADJUST THE IDLE WITH THE SCREW. YOU COULD LOOK AT THE SPARK PLUG, IT CAN TELL YOU ALOT ABOUT HOW MUCH FUEL IS GETTING TO IT. GLAD YOU GOT IT RUNNING. RON PS I just read the post 14/1 fuel mix ratio.

Hi Is the spark plug normal anticlockwise to get it off. Cause my plug won't budge!
It was in the motor on delivery and seems welded in there.
cheers rod

Hi I seem to be experiencing the same problem. My bike will make a whirring sound but there will be no combustion. Can someone explain in detail this solution? Ive opened up my carb so I know where the jet and needle are but I dont quite understand how to adjust the "C"'s
The C clip which is shaped like the letter C is attached to the needle which has about 5 notches on it. This clip is easily removed and attached into anyone of those notches.
