Hi guys, Just picked up an Arctic Cat SSSCAT. and I have a couple of questions.
50cc Sachs saxonette 2 speed automatic 2 cycle
A little back ground first, It is missing the pull start so the seller used a cordless drill turning CCW.to start it On his first try it wouldnt fire up and he said " it doesent have a choke so I usually give it a shot of fluid when starting cold. He did and on try #2 it started right up . but it ran at what seemed to me as pretty fast idle. He had it on a milk crate so the drive wheel started spinning. When I put my foot against it it stopped , it seemed to run smooth just at high idle (throttle was closed)
The user manual said 25:1 mix. He said he was using a universal mix so I dont know what his ratio actually was. I'm assuming he is running leaner than 25:1 which would explain hard to start without choke and the high idle.
How critical is the 25:1 mix? Should I change out and reset the carb adjustments or just the idle?
What's your thoughts.
