Today it started just fine, but when i was tuning the air/fuel ratio it would idle normal but as i drove it I ended up killing it and as i tried to start it, it would kind of backfire out the carb and sometimes start on fire so i would put it out and try it again but it would do the same the carb would start of fire it had no choke when i did it, when i put the choke back on it would kind of do better on starting but the carb started on fire once so far, do i need a new carb ? That's one problem. The next problem is i notice some times as i step on it, it would kind of bog and slowly go but if i let off and step on it again it would go, and when I would try doing a burn out with the manual the tires would kind of spin then it would bog down and die, what's wrong, why does it do that? Thanks for the Help.
