Re: Poor running - Rapido 225
Personaly I'd be suprised if it is an ignition fault, you'd expect it to get worse at higher revers, not better. I would look at your choke and make surem that the plunger nis fully sealing when it is turned off. Have a look down the little hole on the carb inlet. there should be a litle bit of slac...
