ok here it is i bought a suzuki dt20 a week ago ran when i got it parked for 2 days then i started it with muffs ran few miniutes turned it of by chokeing it. now today 4 days later i took it to lake and this is where my stupidity came on in and killed the day. i mixed the fuel verry wrong sticker says 100-1 i read on here somewhere that i should use 50-1 but i didt even get that right i mixed it at 35-1 or even 30-1 and tryed to start it it cought till the new gas hit the carb then died and i tryed and tryed all afternoon to pull it but would not fire up i even bought new gas and mixed it at 50-1 and still no luck so i pulled it out of water and went home an tryed some starting spray in the carb and it will run on second pull for a second then die acts like its staved for gas or too much oil in gas i dont know could i have cloged carb it has new plugs in it and i pulled them and cleaned them but thay didt look fouled and get good spark .

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Re: help..i made a mistake and cant get up

First: NEVER run a 2-stroke motor by using starting fluid. When you do that, there is NO oil in the engine! BAD DEAL (you are making your SMALL problem into a HUGE problem!)

Second: Trash the fuel. No way to know what mix you have or what you would have by dilution, etc.

Third: Start over with your fuel mix and mix it per manufacturer instructions. In this case 100:1 Newer engines require less oil. More oil will just foul your plug, which you have already done. Add Sea-Foam fuel additive according to the directions (one ounce per gallon, IDK how many gallons you have). It is expensive, but it WORKS! It will de-gunk your carbs if they aren't TOO bad.

Fourth: Pull the spark plugs. If you want endless work and jacking around, try cleaning it some more like you are talking about. If you are lazy like me, or tired of messing around with no success (I've never had any success resurrecting plugs) go buy a couple. They are cheap.

Fifth: Install new plugs, hook up NEW gas, and start.

LAST: You CANNOT run the motor at WOT on muffs. Don't know if you knew that. Just get it running, and let it run 5-10 minutes (at least) on the muffs.

Good luck!
