Ozark 250
 

Ok,
I got a 2003 Ozark 250. When I first got the machine (used) it would only idle if the choke was on. Turn the choke off and it dies. It would idle really high! Shifting was hard as well.

I tried to clean the carb, but I cracked it in half... You may remember me now.
So I bought a replacment carb, brand new Mikuni.

So I installed the new carb. It still wont idle unless the choke is up. Turn the choke down and it dies. This time it Idles real smooth with choke up. Runs great with choke lever up. But turn the choke lever down, it dies.


Should I keep adjusting the idle control knob below the carb to try to find a good balance?

or

Should I leave it alone since it runs great with the choke on?

or

Is there something else wrong with it I dont know about.

Keep messing around with the idle screw and post back to let us know if it worked.
