The Boy Who Never Grew Up
Welcome to the forum. On the HT motors I've only used the stock carb, so someone else will need to advise you.

Welcome to the forum.
The stock, kit supplied carburetor is not a bad little guy. I've read several accounts of people replacing it with so called 'high performance' or 'racing' carbs only to go back to the stock one.
Like every other aspect of this hobby there'll be differences of opinion so stand by, you'll get lots of input soon. Meanwhile, try using the search feature at the top of the page. Type in 'carburetor' then sit back because you'll find plenty to read on the subject.

Thanks. I think i fixed the carb. I turned the air/fuel mix screw in as tight as it can go. That doesnt seem right but oh well. The problem before was at about 20 mph the engine would just seem to die. It works great now as far as i can tell. I havent been able to test it much due to icy roads. Im buying another engine kit that somebody is selling used. Im planning on mounting it on a wal-mart beach cruiser. They actually seem to be decent quality. I want this one to look nice because the one i have now just looks like a bunch of old bike parts thrown together with a motor.
