I am having the same problem. Starts right up! But then seems to foul the plugs a little. I rev it up to clear it out then it is fine. Seems to be way to rich at start up.

It starts up like a champ with one turn of the key, but it'll conk out a few seconds later. I went through all the usual tune-up, except for balancing the carbs, and everything checked out. Thinking it was bad gas problem, I drove it around for a bit to see if I could burn out the bad gas. After cruising around for around 10 minutes everything smoothed out. A few hours later, I need to go to town, and the problem resurfaces, and smoothes out after driving around for 10 minutes. Anyone got any ideas?
