The motor seems to skip while in gear at low rpms and smooths out once I turn the throttle 1/4 turn or so. It seems the problem stopped or seemed to have gotten better for short bit after I replaced my spark plugs, but it didn't last long.
Is my idle too low? Throttle adjustments off? Coil problem?
It seems as though at full power I can turn the throttle handle a bit more with no increase in power. Other than that it runs well.
