i can pull the plug and its dark in a short time so if anything it running rich.but if i turn it down say 1/2 turn then its much worse.it takes off slow and very slow to get its headway up. i got run the idol way up to keep from dieing
Unplug the wires going to the enrichner on the carb and do at least a 10 min test ride. Stay close to home, incase it fouls a plug, or carry another plug and tools to change it.
If it runs the exact same, the enrichner is not closing and loading up the carb (rich) . Usually it lost power in a wire coming from the stator.
If it runs worse, the enrichner is working and you can rule that out.
They are finicky. I always test them and make sure they work before installing. It's 1 of those parts that I jus don't trust, new or old.
To test, I wire them straight to a 12v battery and see how long it takes to completely close. Some close faster then others.
