Switch goes to the ON position for running.

 

I did. it is running fine now. i set the idle up on the carb, let it run for 10 min on 1/2 choke, took choke off lowered idle slightly and took off like its supposed to. one small backfire when i slowed down. im gonna drain gas and put new gas in.
can i put an additive in for the carb like in a vehicle ? thanx for the response.

Yup, use Sea Foam. Works great.

 

I will give Sea Foam a second vote. It is a great product and does everything that it claims to. I used it in one of my bikes that was so gummed up that the only way it would run was with full choke. After about 1 gallon of gas with Sea Foam, it ran well enough to go on a ride. I now use it with every tankful.
