A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. -

Questions and answers
My Pulsar G10kbn runs with the switch off and if fuel source is removed to kill it the battery will slowly discharge sitting idle
The Pulsar G10KBN running with the switch off and experiencing battery discharge while idle could be due to a stuck fuel valve in the ON position or an electrical fault causing a parasitic battery drain. The fuel valve being ON allows fuel flow even when the engine switch is OFF, which could cause engine flooding or unintended running. A dead battery or battery drain while idle suggests the battery is not disconnected or an accessory is drawing power continuously.
