Hey guys,
So I built an old Coleman frame with a heavily modified predator 212 on it. I know it's all billet internals and it's fast and hateful, but I literally know nothing about it internally. The old carb was clogged too bad to fix so I put a replacement Amazon special on it with the same specs. I didn't touch any adjustment screws aside from the idle. The first day I had it running it did really well. Probably put a couple of miles total on it that day.
Went to ride again a couple of days later and once it got warm it acted almost like it had a bad plug or was starving for fuel and wanted to continuously idle high. No throttle was needed as it would run along at about 1/4 throttle by itself. While trying to figure out what was going on the problem got considerably worse to the point it would only run for a few feet at near full throttle and would be choking and spitting the whole time. I can pump the throttle sometimes to keep it going (so I could get home). I haven't tried it since it cooled off, but I do not know a lot about these small engines.
Does this sound like a lean condition to you and its getting hot a vaporizing the fuel? I'm open to any suggestions and will answer any questions you may have.
Thanks in advance!
