Hi all, so I have been fighting a losing battle with my suzi for a few months now. As a foreword, I am relatively familiar with 2 strokes, and passably mechanically adept.
The little B***h will sit on the stand and idle all day if I let it, but as soon as it's given some herbs it will act like it's starving for fuel, it dies completely but will go back to idling if I let my hand off the throttle.
So far, I have:
-Pulled carb off, cleaned and blown all jets and passages clear, and checked float height which looks kosher.
-Installed new NGK spark plug
-Filled up with fresh gas
-Replaced inline fuel filter
-Cleaned stock exhaust, which appears to be nicely free flowing.
-Sprayed CRC around carb manifold gasket, no change to engine speed.
-Checked variator assembly just in case something funny was going on there, all clear.
-Checked fuel flow to carb, fine.
-Checked compression, feels fine.
I am fast running out of ideas on what else it could be, it isn't acting like any crank seal issue I have ever encountered, as it will sit and idle fine. It might rev out on the stand for <5 seconds if I'm lucky, until it dies again. Do you folk have any ideas?
