2 strokes are super easy to work on. It sounds like a carb issue to me. Rebuild the carb, also while you are at it replace the top end(piston, rings, bearing wrist pin and gaskets. Make sure when you remove and replace the cir clips in the piston, put a rag down into the crank case to block it off from anything getting down in the crank case. If you drop a cir clip down in there you're hosed and you will have to split the case to get them out.

I am running power to my outside shed this weekend to wire up some lights....Wife won't let me tear it apart on the kitchen table....what's up with that????

I'll take lots of pictures. There are quite a few people on a local forum that have offered to help. That should make things go a lot smoother!

That's bullshit. Tell her that she doesn't need the kitchen table to cook you dinner...

One other quick tip, use Easy Off oven cleaner on your power valve. It gets the carbon off real easy.

So I can use this personally after I tell her that she doesn't need the table to cook dinner...?

Thanks for the tips... I'll keep you posted.
