Well there you go ,1-the plug could be foul check to see if it has a nice orange glow to it when you put some heat to it and make sure that the coil inside is uniform and does not look sprung, next that engine is more than likely a little on the rich side ,that is if you havent messed with the settings might need to lean the H/s about 1/8 turn CW, see what that does for ya.
