[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 326678, member: 10"] Fuel from "this year" ? How old was the gas? Get fresh clean gas - some water in the fuel will do exactly what you said Also, check all your fuel lines and connections - tighten them! Does the primer bulb stay hard when you pump it with the motor off? Does it get soft with the motor on? How old is your spark plug Try those easy things before you rip apart the carbs DO NOT just spray carb cleaner - however, you might want to try SeaFoam or a similar product that is safe for a 2 stroke engine. You start the engine and dump the seafoam into the carb and let it sit (read the instructions on the can) Use a hypo needle (or something like that) to squirt the stuff into the carb [/QUOTE]
