i had that problem after i attempted to repair my 2 1/4 petrol, i lengthened the choke cable abit so that when fully pulled out it wasn't fully closed.
i eventually sort the problem properly when i figured out what the mixture control screw did! i screwed it all the way in then back out again untill the engine ran sweet, then i managed to put the choke wire back as it was originally.
unfortunatly that engine has since past away

cheers mate i'll try that at the weeekend
Usually / Often ..... the trick with a jet volume screw is to turn it all the way IN, then turn it out exactly TWO full turns.
It seems that the way people design these things means 2 full turns is usually a good starting point. All new engines have to be started from scratch!
So 2 full turns out is usually / often the best start.
