    Tecate Help Please!

    What will cause my engine to foul sparkplugs under a load? My motor is rebuilt and so is the carb. It just started doing this all of a sudden before I rebuilt it.Please help. Any comments and help is appreciated.

    Yes, Years of 2 Stroke oils, smoke All kinds of crud gets clogged up in the pipe. I had a polaris that did this once. I was told by the local polaris mechanic to BURN it out. LOL I fileld the piep full of solvent, gas and a few other chemicals, then Repeatedly blew it out with my torch, WOW was that a big flame. anyway After I got it all burnt out, it ran liek a top again.

    my 2 cents, Tyler

    Probably the pipe, you could try running it without the silencer, and see if that helps, or you could take your pipe off and look/blow through it I guess.

    I think I got it running. I switched the carb minus jets from my 84 KXT. I think it'll run now. I'll let you know.
