Honestly... No Clue lol... Im not the best person to work with motors but I figured it wont hurt to tinker... I've had it running for a short time... but the previous owner said when he would ride it it would run "hot" on the fan side and would run real crappy...for $200 I guess I can't complain.

Make the carb on that side slightly richer with the air screw by 1/4 turn out.

I took it for a ride tonight and the motor definately needs some work... In order to really get it to move with me on it ( I only weigh 180lbs) i had to help push it until it got going... and it just seemed to run lousy over all...
