Question: 2 stroke engine dies when given gas?
Answer: Start the engine and let it warm up for 5 minutes. You may have to keep the throttle open a bit. Slowly turn in the low speed jet, until it starts to die, then back it out another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. ... Backing it out will allow more fuel when under a load, and keep your 2-cycle motor from running too lean.
