wow do i feel dumb. turns out the wires that go to the engine kill switch in the electrical box in the rear were shorting out and affecting my spark. i've got the carb A/F screw at 3/4 turn out, and the idle screw set to 'sound' good. idles like a champ and has smooth accel through the powerband. made two perfect laps around the block. it didn't die. and it started up immediately after i shut it down. top speed floored was 26mph indicated. i'm 215lbs, should i tweak some more to gain some top end or is that about what i should expect with my fata$$ driving?
