Well i'm back.. with the most carb issues anybody has EVER heard of lol. So some may know my tank was very rusty and I was running bad brown gas. My tank is red koted now and the gas is clear like it should =) Well I took my carb apart, cleaned it up, put the o ring and washer in the fuel/air mixture screw and everythings back in place. I reset my mixture screw(still no idea what factory settings are) and turned it out a few.. as of now I can see 2 lines of thread on the screw. So a few turns out but not to many.
So I was driving it (screw at the time was like 1 turn out) and of course bogged due to no gas so i turned it out more and more until I was able to drive it(figured doing this slowly would be good) I figured out I ran perfect with half choke, so i assumed more gas is needed, and thats just what I did. Gave it even more gas(maybe 1 more turn) and then it started acting up, the plug is ALWAYS black, no matter what I do. I put choke all the way on and it stays running, all the way off and it runs fine. Plug is a soot black that can wipe off. So today i turned it out another turn and it finally turns off with choke up all the way, not instantly like it should, it takes about 10, 15 seconds and still might not shut off.
When the machine is cold it runs fine, could idle ALL day, when its warm it'll idle for 5 seconds when i let off the gas or it'll die.
I'm just so confused with the plug, it was black to begin with, and is still black the further i turn it out, but the further i turn it out the better it seems to act =/
Sorry to keep asking all my carb issues but I can't seem to figure this one out on my own..
Thanks guys
P.S. my choke works fine, AND the machine starts up 1st pull. Could this have to do with valves maybe coming loose a little on me? It never did this before.
