I've looking around for weeks and can not find the same problem exactly.
I bought an old style dirt bug a few weeks back. I saw the guy I got it from ride it around the yard. Since I had to lay it down to transport it home he suggested we drain the gas and oil. Got it home replaced the oil and gas. It starts, runs a for a few minutes, give it full throttle while standing next to it but it does not want to move. At full throttle it doesn't sound like the RPMs are there. All of a sudden it revs up the RPMs, wants to move on its own for about 10 seconds and stalls. Does this every time.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Here's what I've done so far:
New spark plug
removed and cleaned the gas tank and carburetor (twice)
tightened the chain
took apart the clutch and cleaned it.
My son would love to ride this thing so any suggestions would be great. I want him to get used to the stock motor, then thinking jack shaft and eventually 6.5 hp motor. I'd rather he starts slow.
Thanks.
