Finished assembly today, It was hard to start & when it did it wasn't running very well at all. Of course I thought the worst & that I had assembled something wrong. Pictured below on the left is the plug it came with. So I tried the one right and it started better and ran better, but was surging up and down.


Not wanting to remove the carby again for cleaning, I cleaned up and tried a bunch of plugs.

It ran the same with each one.
So I bit the bullet and pulled it all apart again to clean the carb again.
What I did was remember to clean the emulsifier tube a lot better.
This time using my jet drills, feeling my way, I worked a slightly larger size drill through all the holes, using the back of the drill, I also I guess force a larger size through the jet as well.
Once all put back together, it now runs as it should.

A few pic's.
