Don't know but have you tried a hotter plug?
Different type oil?
Do you have a good strong spark?

Check gas/oil mixture ratio. Could be too rich.

I don't mean to barge in on this thread, but I'm going to eliminate my oil inj sys and mix my own fuel. I was thinking that 128:1 was rather lean.... most 2 strokes run 50:1, no? Anyone know what ratio the stock oil inj system is???

It's 128:1 for normal operation. Only different for break in. At least that is what is calls for on my 79.

Ok, cool!!! I removed my oiling system tonight and mixed up 1 gal of 128:1 and it started right up and actually smelled a lot leaner. I'm glad that's the factory spec. Thx for the reply.
