I have a little 2001 Honda ch80 that I can get to start just fine but can't get it to stay running when I try to increase throttle at all. I can release the throttle and it will crank up again and run until the enrichment valve starts warming up then it won't start at all.. What is the key to getting this carb to transition from start to run?

Does it have a Fuel Filter, those scoots never came with a fuel filter and crud could get into the carb and clog up the jets. I think the jets are clogged if it only wants to start and run OFF the enricher and when the enricher cuts off the extra fuel it dies.
So it is time to take the carb off and clean out the jets and all the passages and make sure they are clear.

My knuckles still have scars from the last time I putted it off and replaced. I thought I had put in a filter but it could be I found no place to put one. |

Just cut the fuel hose about 6 inchs from the carb and put the fuel filter there actually anyplace where it is EASY for you to get at.  Alleyoop |
