    I’m running no ethanol and cleaned the carb twice and will run on choke for a little while but then die if I give it throttle it will run but won’t idle. Do you have any idea why it’s doing that?

    speed will depend on your gear ratio... that said, the black screw he removes in this video li its throttle, try moving that screw out a bit more. :)
