Give these guys a call Monday

The one here tunes vehicles as well for you

Each store is individually owned and operated but it's the best thing I could think of. Even if they can't tune it, I'm sure they can help you in some aspect. I've dealt with hobbytown for over 20 years

Good advice here. Or you could try something we have never done here on LSF(as far as I'm aware of) and let the guys here tune it for you. If you have the ability to record and post it on here I'm sure the guys could help you out. At least get you real close cause it's not like it's a nitro and you have to keep fiddling with the needles. It may take a little longer but it would help.

I don’t know bro trying to tune by video audio is damn rear impossible ??‍♂️

I would recommend just looking for a local hobby shop and letting them fine tune it for you, I’m sure if you tell em your situation they wouldn't even charge you

Or post your location bro, if any one of us is close to you for sure we would meet up to help you out ??

Understood but its better than nothing??‍♂️ Plus I don't think its that hard to tune by video. People give advice all the time on here, YouTube and Facebook. Most of the time the recommendations are legit.
 
Do you have a local small engine repair shop near you ? I'm willing to bet if you ask very nicely, i'll bet the small engine tech can at least get your carb settings close so your engine will run good, then the rest is up to you. Last suggestion when you do start making fuel adjustments turn the screws VERY SMALL INCRAMENTS (1/16 of a turn). It does not take much to "over adjust" your needles and loosing your good baseling tune.

Spark plug gets us ALL

I dropped a new spark plug, engine turn on super easy. I started doing carb adjustments. It was running awesome... all the sudden it turned off on me... It wouldn’t turn back on...

i tried starting it so many times my shoulder was in severe pain for several days.....

After trying all kinds off different ishh I decided to just drop another NEW spark plug and it cranked on with the first PULL ???‍♂️
I was so mad ?

Point of the story is... check ur spark plug even if it’s brand new ??

Amen, you and me both brother. Just last week tried getting my KX500 out of storage, kicked like 10 times, not even a exhaust fart, pulled the plug it actually looked decent (but a little wet) , tried cleaning with compressed air and carb cleaner, put old plug back in, another 6 kicks and still not even an engine cough. Put in a brand new plug and engine at least farted a few times and on the 3rd kick came right to life.
