    right my speedfight2 will not idle properly and I dont know why? I have a Stage 6 airfilter (100jet) standard engine and a leo vince TT exhaust. the ped will idle for a bit and then just cut out, when starting after its cut out can be a pain as I have to get it to start then as soon as the engine has kicked in I need to VIOLENTLY twist the throttle forward and back to try and build the engine back up to normal running speed before it cuts out!

    sorry about the paragraph any comments are appreicated.

    Have you taken the spark plug out and if so, what colour is the insulator? Poor idling could be loads of things, from a crap plug, to iffy crankcase seals, to wrong mixture/jetting, without more information we'd be guessing all over the place.

    The colour sounds good so maybe your problem is electrical.

    If you run on premix, you can disconnect the oil pump from the carb and see if it's actually pumping any oil out. Don't forget to block the oil pipe fitting on the carb first though.
