Yes, stock carb. I'm not sure the size of pilot jet, it's the one that came with carb.

Okay so I got the bright idea to run at night so I could video the color of spark.. While it was running with the plug in I put my hand by plug cap and shocked the crap out of me. I guess the plug boot is bad (cheap orange coil). The next morning I put the original coil and cdi back on and it runs like a beast.. If that cdi is bad it would be the second one that we have that is bad. Going to get a couple of new plugs this week to do the plug testing. The brand new iridium plug is black. I'm hoping that's from the bad cdi and coil not giving enoug spark. If not I will order more jets to to get the carb on the money. And Tom yes I will drain the tank and use fresh gas for the testing.

The ignition switch is going bad sometimes you have to hold the back in so it will turn over. Has anyone changed theirs to a toggle switch on with push button start?
