Roketa AR 20 can't keep it running By redwrider (Read 283 times)

Have a Roketa AR20 - believe it's a 110 but adjustable throttle  kid sized/

 has been sitting a while- got a new battery=- went thru that routine - adding electrolytes- charging

replaced 2/3 of the fuel line that was cracked. took off the fuel filter- blew it out with air compressor-  put it back- auto parts didn't have replacement.

today replaced spark plug.it had the original one from NANDA tried to adjust carburator fuel/air mixture-  it will start sometimes but won't run longer than a minujte. of I put some starting fluid in plug hole - it did start but won't keep running-

I had tried to remove the air filter but the shroud is attached yto a rubber hose and clamped to the carb- the screw for the clamp is against the frame and a couple of inches below the gas tank- tried several tools but couldn't get to it.

 I'd appreciate any ideas about how else to get the air cleaner off  without dismantling the thing

also- I originally thought the fuel/air ratio screw was the idle screw -quick start book says to turn it 1 & 1/2 turns but  I'm not sure  that is accurate,  and I haven't found the idle screw- can't find any diagrams. quick start says it's on top of carb under seat- but can't see it from there. any references?
just want to get it running to sell it for my daughter.
thanks in advance for any tips.

The idle set screw is on the linkage that the cable attaches to and it's under the door in the bottom of the seat bucket. It sounds to me like you have either a fuel feed problem or crud in the carburetor which requires cleaning. There are videos all over Youtube on how to do it.
