I had a head go bad..wrecked the rings and piston.Got it bored and I put it all together.it wont start.I found the air mixture screw to be missing on the carb.Will this cause it not to start?

Yes! Check a local bike shop for the screw. Screw and spring, of course. When you get one, turn it all the way in. Then turn it out 1-3/4 turns. that is a good starting point.

1-3/4 is good? I live in upstate NY..I will try it first and check plug but I hope that is the reason it wont start cause I'd hate for it to be something more
