Hey guys having a problem with my 208cc 7hp Princess Auto clone.
I did the usual mods custom air low restriction air filter and custom exhaust header.
I drilled main jet out with a #65 bit to make it a 89-90
I drilled the idle jet with a #77 to make it a 45
This carb does not have an emulsion tube.
I have a NGK bpr6es plug installed
The engine starts fine and revs fine.
The problem is it seems to be running really rich at idle , it soots the plug up real quik and even gives a puff of black smoke when you crack the throttle open.
With a fresh plug if I start it and hold the throttle at half or full and don't let it idle ,then check the plug it is a dark tan color wich I can live with.
My question is where do I go now , do I open the idle jet up bigger ? or do I replace the main jet with a smaller one.
