got sound but no go

[Saltysteele]

could this be another fouled-up-muffler case? seems quite a few of these lately (probably people starting to use them again after sitting all winter)

ok i got it runing all it was at the end of the wire that connects to the spark plug it was rigged up and it wasnt evan sending a spark to the spark plug but i fixed that and it ran like a top but now it will run good for about 10 min and than start spiting and sputering and than it will start smoking BAD BAD from under neath the cart and out of the carb so i waited till it cooled off and tried agian and it ran good and than it does it all over agian

Check your cooling fins for trash, might be getting hot and shutting down.
Did you make sure you have good new gas and the oiler is working?

When it shuts down, pull the plug wire and test spark with a new plug.

[sacbyrd]

well i cheaked the fins but it is a two stroke but my only problum now is giting it to stay runing it runs and than it bogs down and wont run and than i waight and than i can git it started and it will run for a little wile and bog down agian

[sacbyrd]

well i think i found the problum it is gitting to much gas and flooding out and fouling out the spark plug how do i fix this

Adjust the carb mixture screws in all the way and then out 1 1/4 turns, see what happens.

ok i tried adjusting the screw and that did not work it is still running good and than dying but one it is on a jack it runs great but win you try to ride it it will run and than stop

Well that was so unexpected I blew snot out of my nose when I started laughing!

Sac, If it runs good on the stands (no load) but then dies on the ground (under load) it sounds as if carb is adjusted lean.
Lets say at 2000 RPMs, the motor requires more fuel under load than same RPMs on stands.
You have two adjustment screws on the carb, one low speed and one high speed.
They should have a "H" and a "L" stamped beside them.
You need to make adjustments on the ground like it would normally be used.
The only way to do that is by starting and stopping, making adjustments
Start by setting them both at 1 1/4 turns out.
Start with the low speed screw because your motor uses that one first.
Push the pedal and feel/listen how it starts and takes off.
If it stumbles or starts hard open it another 1/4 turn, get it starting properly and then move to the high speed adjustment.
When you get it starting properly and speed up it will either stay running or die out once it passes from the low to the high circuit.
If it dies out it will be because of two things,
it either runs out of fuel (high speed screw in to far) or
the motor loads up with fuel and floods itself out (high speed screw out to far)
You just need to adjust in increments until you find the sweet spot.
when people say "screw your mixture screws out 1 1/4 turns" that is just an average starting point for motors to get them running so you can make your fine, final adjustments.
Keep us posted.

I must rest now...............

its still fludding out i have tried all of that do yall have any thing else i should try
