Won't idle!!!

Post by dozzum »

I thought i'd give redex a go to see if it would help my carb (crappy pierburg).
Got a bit overzealous and put a bit too much in and it wont idle now and backfires a fair bit.
Ive since drained half teh tank and put petrol in to fill it.
So its now at teh right mix of redex.
It still wont idle though and teh exhaust sounds rather poppy and backfires occasionly.
Ive tried adjusting the CO mix screw on the top and it doesnt really seem to help.
