Well it will start with starting fluid, but it wont idle. and as soon as i turn the throttle , it shuts off. Suggestions? bummer.. if mines been sitting, it takes about 3 times with the starter fluid. Even if it wont idle, just barely pull the throttle and see if you can get the engine going. Then ...

have u been using starter fluid?

Btw, Ali G is awesome! Have u seen ali g in da house? great show man. not very many ppl around here know about him.

Ok, I do have a spark.. and compression is ok. However, I am still having a gas overflow problem in my carb. Could my problem be the plunger in the carb not closing the pin, causing too much fuel to enter the carb, overflow, and not allow the plug to spark and ignite properly? yes. check the float ...

well just pop open the airbox and look at the filter, if its dirty clean it. dont clean it w/ water though, as it will be too dry afterwards and run lean. I still say that it might be the idle adjustment. Keep track of its position on paper and turn it left or right a few times and see if that helps...

wil it cause a spree not to stay running? the spree will start run for a few seconds and die. if you rev the throttle it will rev bog down and stall. has a clean carb an air filter. whats wrong? Possible choke problem, or you may need to reset your carb screws. and most likely the marine oil wont c...

Compression? yeh check compression. how to test: 1) take out your spark plug, 2) place your finger firmly over the hole, and 3) try to turn over the piston. If there is enough compression, your finger should pop right off. (in case you haven't, try starting fluid by spraying it in the carb, then tr...

yes. probably wouldnt cause vacumming, but would slow you down. filter isnt supposed to be wet nor dry, but oily.

I wish I could tell you how it affected my speed, but I messed with the airfilter, and now It wont get passed 30. So I'm hot sure if affected my speed or not. The tires were about $30.00 a piece. new tubes were $5.00 a piece. So it isn't an expensive investment. as in airfilter stays open a bit now...

Hey guys, dad said yes the fan does turn. The starter wont turn the motor even with the spark plug removed. Any suggestions? also is there a diagram in the manul of the drive train? ie the parts i am sure there is a spring or spacers missing. If someone could send it to me that would be great. hard...

just doesnt turn over, like you go to start it and the starter motor is making a noise but it just wont turn the thing over. No it hasnt been in storage. was running mint and then yeah just would turn over. I have the latest adobe so dunno why it aint downloading like noiseguy said, can you manuall...
