Always try a new spark plug first - essential on any two stroke! The carb on these has very fine drillings and jets and personally I always use compressed air and proper carb cleaner when I'm doing these. If the engine spits back through the carb thats a sure sign of a weak mixture - if the carb floods then thats the float needle valve not seating fully.
