got bike back from garage and have messed with it,

the carb is letting too much fuel into cylinder and not starting wetting plug is this an easy fix

they also removed fuel filter and scratched exhaust and left fuel hose bung off letting rain in to side casing and carburretor.

Found the cause of the kawks running problems before this, crank seals have gone.

to adjust it will there be an adjuster screw for the mixture setting.

On the carb where the throttle cable it attatched there should be a screw where you can adjust the amount of fuel that goes into the engine.

That should help

It would also be helpful to know what bike it is. Wink

Here is an eBay link to a Haynes manual

Normally you can adjust the screw until it nearly cuts out, then adjust it until it "sounds right", typically around 1,500-2000 RPM

Mixture would be your choke...i.e. choke on for more fuel (only for cold starts) and off for normal.

The throttle cable is attachted to your idle screw.

If you have no idea what your talking about, it's best just to not say anything.

Check whether it is oil or fuel wetting the plug.

If it is definitely petrol, there are a few things to check:
The choke cable and piston are in good nick and move freely
The adjustment of the float and condition of the float needle
Condition of the various gaskets around the carburettor
Condition of the idle circuit and that the idle screw isn't badgered
Air filter is clean and in good condition

If it is over oiled you will need to check the adjustment of the oil pump. I've not seen the guts of a two stroke in many years, someone on here will be able to help with this I'm sure.

I do love how if you want to hear the most unreliable outrageous bullshit in the motorbike world you only have to listen to people talk about small two strokes!

Carburettor will most likely need a general overhaul.

Look at getting a gasket set and a replacement float needle/seat.

Don't scrimp on the carburettor-it will only cause you grief!

Set the idle screw from 1 1/2 turns out if memory serves.
