Posts: A lot.
an interesting observation I had earlier ...
when I could not get it to start ( no gas in the float bowl but I didn't know that)
I pulled the spark plug and looked at it and it was fairly black like it's running too Rich with the stock carb.... I had put their jet kit in it....and hadn't checked the plug color sense.... a mistake I know ! but it was running very well and I just forgot about it.
so when I pulled the spark plug this morning and saw it was black it reminded me of that fact ! it's like OOPS !
as crisp as it sounds now it is probably right on the right color... i.e. TAN not black and not white ( it is an air cooled 4 stroke...you don't want to run them lean!)
evidently the jet kit that I added was a bit too generous on the jet size....
I'll have to keep an eye on that. !!!!

Bob....
