Got my R project already to start up and take for a spin around the block and she will not start.
This is what I have in place.....
Pretty much a stock motor, 36mm carb all clean and set up decent enough for a first run. New reeds, new plug, new gas.
The first time I tried to start her up yesterday, I only wanted to run it just for a few seconds to hear her run. Choked it, about a 1/4 throttle and she fired off 2nd kick. I reved her just a tad, let her run about 15 seconds or so and shut her down.
Later I tried the same thing and she would not start at all. A couple of little tries and a couple of smalle little wanta be back fires and that is it.
I took that carb back off and cleaned it again just to make sure I was not missing anything and that did no good.
She has spark. Not as big and bright as I would like it to be but it seems to be good. The only other thing I just thought of was being that everything is fresh painted, mabe I need to run another ground from the motor to the frame for another ground.
You guys got any other thoughts? Maybe something I am overlooking?
Thanks.
