I'm getting my weird ATC200s up and running. I bought a rebuild kit for the carb, rebuilt it and it now starts up fine and idles. I also bought a new plug and set the gap (had the wrong plug in there).

Odd thing is that the idle isn't smooth. It will idle smooth for a minute then it will start to pop and spit a bit and then smooth out again. Also it seems to bog if I floor it.

Should I look at fuel/spark/other at this point?

I haven't popped the CDI cover yet to take a gander in there (got dark).

Possibly check for an intake leak, like the oring/seal behind the intake boot on the head.

Ahh!! thats a smart idea, I never thought to look there.
