Hello there peoples, I recently pulled the Mach .15 out of my XXX-NT for the winter season to look it over but inevitabely replace it. This engine always ran great for me up until this past summer when later on in the summer the engine was constantly giving me problems. It was always performing like it was too lean AND too rich at the SAME time. It would have attributes to both areas at the same time and tuning in either direction proved most useless as it would keep on doing what it was doing or just plain not run at all. I tried getting help from all around me and tried looking up Q&A's on it and all this but in the end I was just sick and tired of trying to find a solution. I am positive there has got to be something wrong with the engine/carb set up,... I am just unsure as to what and have had no luck getting 3rd party perspective. I know how to tell when an engine is too rich and when an engine is too lean and I know how to solve the problem as far as needle tuning goes but this was just out of my league and my engine wasn't accepting any solutions. I shortly there-after also realised that I do not have the funds to replace my whole engine for another, and so I am going to have to stick with the one I have. ANYWAY, now that you know WHY I took out my engine and now have it apart and looking it over, here comes my point to it all. One of a few things now, first off what should I clean it in / what's a good method (basically how do I go about cleaning it all). Secondly should I replace my carb with some other? Third off, is it wise to change the flywheel in a triple X NT with the stock engine, if so, which is a good replacement? And finally now, what would be a good clutch to swap for the stock one? Thank you all VERY much in advance,...
