I'm looking for some help with a poorly running SSR 110. Bike is brand new and starts up with one or two kicks. As soon as you put it in gear and let out the clutch it coughs and sputters until you pull on the clutch. My guess is it is running rich because the plug is black. I'm looking for some sort of spec for float height. I can't imagine it would need to be jetted, because it's fresh out of the crate. Has any one else had this experience with SSRs?

Just because its New in the Crate doesn't mean its perfectly jetted....Find the Air screw and turn it in and back it out half to one full turn and try again

I did play with the air screw a bit, it didn't seem to have any affect. It just seems to be way off. Before I start messing with the needle or jets I wanted to be sure the float was correct. Is there any rule of thumb for setting it? I couldn't imagine the jetting being this far off from the factory, but this is my first Chinese bike.

Thanks Old School, I've set the day a side tomorrow for this. My son is chomping at the bit to get on it.

All's good now

Well to make a long story short I raised the float a bit, the clip down one groove on the needle, and put a uni air filter on it and now it runs great. I wish it was as simple as that sounds. Took a little fooling around but that is where I ended up. Thanks for everyones input.
