I have the same motor. just cleaned the carb. guy in the video needs to do the same. the thing he I pulling is the choke. top screw (on his I don't see) is the needle jet which goes into the intake, bottom is to the fuel bowl, and on the main top (goes left to right) is the throttle
It's not difficult, I have the same engine and I've sailed a lot with it, this one seems poorly adjusted. What differentiates it from others is the throttle that is that sliding lever.
@@pv2smurf Exactly, the black button he is pulling has three clicks, it is the choke, it is only used to start the engine or to "kill" the engine. Mine has been stopped for almost ten years, I'm going to work on it soon and I'll post.
I hope you sussed the reason for it dying and your incorrect use of the choke to keep it running! For anyone watching this for the first time the reason it kept dying was because the two mixture adjusters weren't set correctly, each needed to be wound in gently until they stop then unwound one and a quarter to a half turns, THEN fire it up fine tuning the upper one for a sweet tickover or slow running and do the same fine tuning for high speed using the lower adjuster and leave that choke alone!!
so 2 strokes dont have a oil resevoir just add oil to gas right?
i just wonder how much oil to gas ratio it is
i just bought one of these today for 50 dollars. tje the guy said it had never been ran
Looks like a lot of work needed to keep it running! What do each of the controls on the front of it do?

your throttle issues are coming from the carb. you need to adjust the float probably or just buy new carb. maybe a carb kit.
sometimes even new carbs have to have float adjusted
