I have to agree that this is the best thing to do to diagnose the problem. It certainly sounds like it is running rich. I have had this happen to me a few times, once it was due to an obstruction of part of the air filter, the other (and more serious) time was a sticking choke. The choke was fairly easy to diagnose, when the problem occured, it could be cleared up by pumping the choke lever until it got better. This was a strong indicator of where the problem was... It might be worthwhile to check both of those conditions, seeing as they are both really easy to fix if they are the problem. -- Craig West Ph: (416) 666-1645 | It's not a bug, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | It's a feature...
