Looking for some suggestions. My p200e started chugging/jerking at the lower end of the gears. It will power through and get up to smooth running and gets up to top speed.. but I have been going through everything to try and figure it out. Changed spark, cleaned jets, adjusted fuel mix experimented with jetting (has a sip road 2 on it currently am testing a 120 main but it chugged through 125, 122 as well) cleaned filter above float. Newer Spaco carb. I am not the biggest fan of them but the Delorto it had on it was warped from over tightening so I had to replace it. Compression reads at 115. I have ordered some spark plug wire to see if that helps. It will occasionally idle with a chug as well and when I apply downward pressure to the wire where it meets the CDI it smooths out. Hopefully a new wire might help. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and where they looked to fix it? any help appreciated.
