@Jerry3669-l6j Hi Jerry, from your description, it sounds like it might want more fuel. Go to the 12:55 mark on this video for tuning. Also, if you used the plug in the kit, replace it with a Champion RJY6C (99% sure that's the one). The kit plugs are not reliable at all. I usually add a new plug to everything when I am working on it. Let me know how it goes, I have other suggestions, but I am pretty sure you can fine tune it into shape.

We can't rule out a bad carb, not pumping enough gas.

@GuysPlayingWithTools 7 күн бұрын
You are right. It's not obvious at all. Part of the problem there is the nature of fuel lines on a 2 stroke. The fuel filter goes on the longer line and should sit in the middle of the tank on the bottom. The other is a return and only has to make it into the tank and inch or so. If the carb has one barbed fitting. Put the fuel line on that one and the return on the other. If it doesn't, give it a guess, and if the fuel is coming in through the line you put the filter on, you are done. If not, you can switch them at the carb. Let me know if that helps. 👍

@GuysPlayingWithTools 9 күн бұрын
That's a tough one. You are right in assuming you would get a pretty good shock, but with plastic handles on the machine, you might have only been slightly grounded and without ground you wouldn't get nearly as much of a shock as you would holding the metal shaft. If you have a local auto parts store, take it there. It's a quick test, and most will let you borrow a spark tester. If it doesn't have a new plug, get one while you are there, old plugs can make 2 strokes hard to start.

You mentioned the valve cover and I figured that would be a good place to start even though I was sure I had tightened it down and was going to look elsewhere for the leak. As luck would have it, the valve cover didn't get tightened down all the way. Got it snugged up and no more leaks. Now, if I could get it to start with the rope I'd be happy! It starts fine with the speedstart mechanism. And it did start once with the rope. I am getting spark with the rope, so not sure why it's not starting on the rope pull.
