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.
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.
