I'm trying to get the Mojave all ready to be sold but its having some issues. Its been sitting all winter and before the winter it didn't start up so I just said F it and put it in the barn. I tried starting it yesterday knowing it wouldn't start and of course it didn't. So today I took the plastics off because the design of it is so horrible and that is what it takes to get to the spark plug. The spark plug was pretty wet and was definatley not looking to good so I gapped a new one and replaced it. I drained the old gas out and checked to see how dirty the carb was and it seemed to look clean. So I put new gas in a put it back together and it started but it didnt Idle for crap and just sounded like crap. It died after about 2 mins and I let it sit and started it again and it idled with the choke on for about 1 minute pretty good and then died again and would not start. What do you think the problem is? Any help is appreciated.

maybe just turn the idle up on your carb, or adjust air/fuel mixture screw. Also is your airfilter clean ?

take the gas tank off and make sure the gas filter inside is not clogged....I had a problem similar and the filter was dirty , just washed it and glued it back in.....if u did get it to run, let me know what u did?....
