to start im new to 2 strokes to the point of jetting and such and reeds. Im a mechanic and have all the tools to do anything besides specialty tools.
bought a rolling chassis and then got a motor with exhaust. completely stock motor for all i know with a dg exhaust(i know they suck but hey, better than stock and sounds great) i have put a uni filter on it without lid. ive had my little issues with things but it runs great and has held up the last few weeks toolin around.
when i was on my land on the initial run, it warmed up and the idle was waaaaaay high to the point everytime i was on the clutch it would rev very very high so i moved the screw to the point it idled ok. and then i called it a day when my master key broke on my chain right after that. then the next day me and a buddy went out and were draggin on a 70 yrd stretch(he had a 400 foreman) and he was whoopin my ass, and at that time i noticed that it would bog like a mother past about 1/4-1/2 throttle past 3rd gear. other than this it runs like a champ. Yesterday i was toolin round with a diff buddy that has a straight race blaster and of course he was feeding me dust but i told him to take it for a ride and he was thinking maybe plug, reeds or crap in the carb.
Tonight i took the carb and reeds out and the plug. The plug has definately been in the motor for a while and is a dark brown(gonna replace anyways), the reeds were a tit bit open but have been researching and its normal, but im getting some like new pro series carbon for $20 from my race bud tomorrow, and comes down to the carb. may i note there is residual oil on front and rear of motor.
I guess what im asking is could it be just crud in the carb and/or a jet issue. like i said i know basically nothing about jetting but have taken many many carbs apart like these but never had to switch carbs(small cycles to mopeds) about 3 times a day
Edit: also it cuts out if i turn all the way to the right at idle but is ok is on gas and/or moving
