  • MAN!!! you only need to open the gas up about 1 turn. waaaayyy to rich. to turn it of the correct way, just turn off the gas.

  • mines been running real well. ive made some new gaskets for the carb and it helped alot! i even was able to cold start it without priming it around 40deg.

  • If its firing irregularly and puffing alot of smoke, its usually running too rich, a good place to start is one full turn out unless the intake line has a small leak, then itll take more. if its firing irregulatly and sounds a little bit hollow, and backfires now and then its probebly too lean. Theres only about a half turn difference between too rich and too lean. A good place to start is one full turn out with the mixture needle

  • They all seem to run differently, Mine runs well at low speeds at only a half turn out, but takes one full turn out for full speed. I think it all depends on the intake line, and if there are any leaks in it or not.

  • whoa dud to shut it off turn off the gas at the mixture screw! youll kill your mag by poping off the spark wire!

  • mine has been running on 1 1/2 turns out on the mixture screw i think thats where it should be! ill have to check my manual

  • that thing shoots fire out the exhaust also!!! LOL

  • waytoo rich!!
