Bystarter valve wiring? 90cc Manco quad
Engine idles great but when gassed it bogs and tries to die. Figured it was a carb issue, but the problem persisted over all mix screw settings. While doing research I learned what a bystarter is and that I haven't wired it in, which I assume means the carb is running rich/choked.. might be the problem?.
Anyway, there are two leads coming from the valve and the wiring on this atv is a mess, it's not evident which wires need to be attached by a connector on the atv's wiring. Basically, I just want to make sure that one is 12v and the other is a ground (I can wire it if this is the case).
thanks!

Thanks for the replies
Two stroke.
As I understand it, the bystarter and its valve (needle) work by heating thermowax to actuate a plunger and needle to close an additional fuel passage. As the motor runs/warms and delivers power to the heater, the wax expands and etc./refer to above. I think they only need 12v ac or dc, and my atv doesn't have a battery (kickstart only), so any 12v lead should work- since power doesn't flow while engine's off
.
However, I'm pretty sure I found the lead for the bystarter and plugged it in- no improvement. Guess it must be something else. The carb is brand new, so it shouldn't be dirty needles. Gas flow seems solid. Running out of ideas here.

Honed, not measured. For as much as I paid for the thing I'm not planning on sinking a huge amount of labor into this thing. I would be surprised if the bore dia is out of spec, the engine seems fairly low mileage
