I bought two Colemens at rock bottom price at two different times for $350.00 and then the store MC sports closed?? at that time 2016, I thought it was cheaper than I could build. Both mini bikes start good, run good, but after a warm up run and shut off they both will not start with out the choke on?? What's up with that??

Yea that low speed jet is pretty small, sounds like an ethanol related issue. Thank god for the farmers, but they can keep that out of my fuel.

Pull the carbs & scrub?? I was hoping for something else. with the ethanol blended fuel e-10 though e-85 a smart guy don't have a chance!!?? Every one knows the fuel separates, corrosion, small aluminum carbs plug up. Today I use sta-bil in all my stuff that sets or stores or it will not start!!??$$. With this snow storm, my power went out and I'm on gen. power as I type this reply. Thank God for the farmer and their technology.

What sort of answer are you looking for? Turning an adjustment screw? Magic fuel that will clean the carb for you?

Modern industrial engines are designed to cope with up to 10% ethanol, because that's pretty much the standard these days. The problem with ethanol is the storage issue. Sta-bil ethanol treatment is a good start. Shutting off the fuel and running it till the carb is empty is best if it's going to sit for more than a couple days.

You shouldn't be running e-85 in a small engine, ever. They're just not made for it.
