    reason for all this is it idles, revs high and low but when in gear barely moves and bogs, so what do i need to adjust to change the air /fuel mixture?

    clean the jet, not enough fuel passing through.

    or if that doesnt sound right, you have a air leak.

    theres only 2, clean them both, and clean the rest of the carb while youre at it. all passages, etc...use compressed air afterwards too.

    and bingo was his name o......

    Use carb cleaner, spray it all, then use thin wire on the jets and push through the holes, then spray again.

    if theres no hex head or screwdriver flat, its pressed it. just clean it out with carb cleaner and compressed air

    Does the trimoto have the the stock carb on it. If it does first clean it then set the air screw by turning it in intil it stops then back it out 1 1/2 turns.Try that and see how that goes. Have you done a compression check on it and what did you get it. Should be at least a 100 psi. I will not be back intil nine tonight then if you got any more question I will try to answer them then.

    are you sure? should be 2 flat head slots or a flat head and then a hex for a ratchet/wrench
