nakednutt 58 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 if its been sitting for a while then theres a good chance you'll need to clean the carbs out. the 2 stroke mix will go jelly like through time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JR Yipp 111 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 sorry just assumed you didnt as couldn't get it runing. i can assume youve done all the run of mill things then. ie clean filters/carb, checked rings. check on the back of the carb, there will be a black pipe ensure it hasent perished and is connected with no air holes.if not i would strip it bit by bit from there and check seals very carefully, even a small crack will effect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
