ok, i went to the shop yesterday to pick it up and started it only to find the exact same problem... it stalls.
he ran carb cleaner through it and adjusted the jets. then his son came out and told me he's gonna have to put a new carb on. i'll see what happens... looks like headsmess was right
the next part is a bit strange... he's a small engine mechanic (mostly mowers) and told me he hates weed-eater engines because he always has trouble with them. he said tanaka is junk and they sell them for a lot more than they are worth... as an "insider" he can get one for like $100 bucks. he said it'd run a lot better with a chainsaw motor attached... frankly, i think he's crazy. i've had 7 stand up scooters and one bike and they've all been great
the one thing i did notice is that the tunable carbs are a huge pain in the ass. my 35cc tanaka always started and ran well as does my 40cc purefire...
so yeah, what do you think?
