Re: Leaking gas 85 spree nq50

I think ive got it going now. Few noob questions. Should the back wheel be spinning while started on the stand? And i hear a clinky noise in the gear box. I opened it up and it all seems ok. Gears dont look stripped.

Re: Leaking gas 85 spree nq50

What is the proper way to remove the bystarter? Should it just pull up? I wasn't the one who removed it but it did make a slight pop noise when removed. And right before that I was saying I dont know how to remove that.... I'll post up a pic of the end of that later. If its broken I wouldnt know. An...

Im waiting for the multimeter and trickle charger to come via mail. I dont have a cheap place (harbor frieght is an hour away) to get stuff so ebay is b...
