Well, here goes. Hell of a first post!
I've tried the searches, and I've been banging on this motor since recieving the vehicle yesterday.
I've got a Baja 5B with a 30.5cc CY in it. It ran for two thermal cycles yesterday, as well as about 10 minutes of sub 30% throttle, as I was breaking the motor in. It died during that 10 minute run, with the plug boot loose on the spark plug.
I told myself, alright, just a loose plug boot. Reseated it, tried to restart it. Nothing. Then the pullstarter pawl cracked. So, here we go with a new pullstarter.
I also pulled the plug, and it was black. Great, running too rich.
So, I reset the needles to factory on the carb (1 1/4 Low, 1 1/2 High), got a new plug, gapped it to 0.025, and tried again.
Nothing.
It gets spark, I smell fuel, the plug has fuel on it when I pull it out.
Going off something I read on Hpibajaforums, I tried closing up the LSN completely, and trying to start it.
It will pop and make sounds like it wants to start, but it won't actually run.
Any idea guys? I've torn up my hands and made a mess of the living room with this beastie. I didn't think it'd be this hard. :lol:
Thanks in advance.
