i'm slowly moving along trying to finish my 175 tri moto project. I got it running saturday night and was able to drive it around the yard for a while to make sure things are working the way they should. I ran into 3 problems so far that i could use some help correcting. keep in mind i'm somewhat new to 2 stroke engines. also, i cleaned the entire fuel system and the carb and i'm running premix 32:1. Anyway, the questions are:
1)It takes forever to start... every few pulls it will run for 2 or 3 seconds but it is unresponsive to the throttle. After a several (8-10) of these 2-3 second sputters it will start up no problem and start everytime after right away. then when it gets cold again it does the 2-3 second sputter thing. is this just how it works or does something need to be adjusted?
2)next question, after riding around a bit i come to a stop and drop it to neutral. in neutral it will idle for about 3 seconds and then rev up real high. i shut it off right away so it doesn't blow itself up so i'm not sure if it would come back to idle. i read some stuff on here about fuel starvation causing a high rev but it runs fine until i put it back into neutral after riding and it idles pretty consistantly before i ride. any ideas??
3)one more question... probably a complete newb question but i figure its better to ask than to ruin my machine: i drained the oil in the bottom end. about a quart or so came out. jto fill it back up, the manual says to fill it up until a small amount comes out of the oil level check screw hole.... i only poured about 1/3 of a quart in and it started running out the check oil hole so i assume that means its full. does anyone know exactly how much oil it takes in the bottom end? i'm just confused why so much came out and so little when back in. while i'm at it... what does the 850cm3 on the case mean?... i'll try to get a pic of this soon
