Howdy,
I have a small scooter powered by a 49cc 2 stroke, presumably weedwhacker
based, motor.
Since new, its required choke to start if it was at all cold, along with
having a slight hesitation/die when you give it throttle off idle, before
it catches again (assuming its warm) and accelerates.
Nowadays, after a year of neglect, it starts pretty hard (like 20 pulls on
full choke) and once its running doesn't like to go off choke very soon at
all and when I rev it enough that it doesn't immediately die, it'll idle
ok and run at speed ok, but the hesitation on initial throttle application
is really bad, to the point where its likely to stall.
I'm planning on changing the fuel & plug, but I was curious if anyone had
any carb tuning advice for me. My butt says that if this were a "normal"
motorcycle carb, the needle position or perhaps the mixture screw would
need to be richened up. However, its been about a million years since I
didled with motorcycle carbs and I've got no clue at all what adjustments
the carb on this chinese wonder might have...
Any pointers appreciated!
Mark
