Hey ill run my Max-IV for about 30 seconds and then I can look back and see my muffler glowing cherry red on the way to the duck hole? What is the deal am I running to lean? or is it rich? I recently cleaned the carb, jets, tank, new fuel line, and filters. My choke cable is broke so i gotta get a new one. So its hard to start and it runs once I squeeze the throttle above a certain level. I dont think i have it adjusted right, but I followed the directions in the packet RI sent me.. hrmmm Any thoughts?

You are WAAAAAAAAAAAAy lean. You need to richen it up some before it's too late.

Greg
I agree with Attex Bob. You are way too lean. I wouldn't run this engine anymore until you correct the problem. If you don't you WILL burn a hole in the piston. This would require a major engine overhaul. Do yourself a favor. Get more information how to tune this carburetor. My suggestion is call Richard Clark and ask his advice. Good luck.

attex bob always told me, rev it till it melts then hold it there.
