[QUOTE="Incahiker, post: 189739, member: 4777"] Well, I dug into the carb and the float was definitely set WAY too high, where too much fuel needed to be in the bowl to clove the needle valve. I set it to the right height and put it back in. The odd thing is that the motor will run strong when cranked cold. But once warmed up after you shut it off or idle for a while it gets kind of sluggish. Then I take the cowling off and it runs like a champ again. But, if you let it cool off for a while and then run it, it runs really strong and will stay really strong as long as you keep full throttle going. If you get to idling around like trolling for a while it will get sluggish when getting up to full speed, unless you pull the cowling off. But it is running much better then before. It is getting me places way faster then any trolliing motor would so I am not complaining, lol, especially for the price I paid. And the motor cranks of the 1st try every time, and idles great, better then any 2 stroke motorcycle or outboard I have had. Well... I was just thinking, after idling around for a while, and then it seems to slow down.... does it sound like the idling around on my 2 stroke is fouling the plug? [/QUOTE]
