Bogging down... AGAIN

Post by Bleroy »

The spree has no pull at all after a day's worth of riding. I adjusted both screws every freaking way possible numerous time, still nothing. It bogs down very easy. Any help? :*: :evil: :x

Cheapest repeatable way is to use one of These. If the carb is attached, be sure to open the throttle all the way. Kick or E-Start until the gauge stops rising. Read the number from the gauge, looking for 120-ish or better.

Maybe you should know what these "screws" do before you just start cranking on them :confused:

No, 114 is minimum. Read the manual, you might learn something.

Yeah, but I rarely ask stupid questions that are answered in the manual for anyone with the brains to look to find and read.
