There's 2 out door toy shops that do it to ATVs and such here locally. The "it's not running right it needs more fuel" belief appears to be wide spread.
White smoke, need more fuel.
Blue smoke needs more fuel.
Black smoke, needs more fuel.
It won't start because the engine floods, needs more fuel...

I want the engine to run lean enough it will die when I first start it unless I give it some choke for the first 10 to 30 seconds.

Next smallest size I have is an 85 I think that's too small. So I bought an eBay set with 85 through 100 jets, specifically 85, 87.5, 90, 92.5 a redundant 95, plus a 97.5 and 100 that I shouldn't need. I'm thinking it needs about a 90.
I'm not sure WTH happened but these jets I ordered back in march just showed up in the mail the other day.
