Hey guys, so my motor has spark and from what i can tell it has fuel as if i prime it i can see fuel dripping out of the carbs (the fact its doing that may well be a problem aswell??!! - maybe the carbs need a clean for a start, could squirt some carb cleaner into them?)
So when i turn it over its almost like theres not enough battery power to get up enough revs to actually fire - it comes across as very laboured (and thats using a fairly new 12v heavy duty), but if i take the plugs out and turn it over it turns alot more freely (which is to be expected as theres no compression without the plugs - but all pistons move freely)
im wondering if the carbs are blocked or fuel pump isnt working, coz if i squirt enginestart into the cynlinder and then turn it over it, you can hear if fire then its like the battery runs outa juice adn it goes back to sounding laboured....
another question, does it have to be in neutral before it will start??
To start it i pull the choke lever all the way forward (advance timing lever on the controller), then hold down the choke button adn then turn it over???
as my controller was in bits (i put it back together with a parts diagram), it never seems to go into neutral, without the controller whats the easiest way to get it into neutral?? just
I know this is alot to take in, and very vague, but any ideas as to where to go next would be great, been a 2stroke there cant be that much wrong - or im doing something wrong, theyre fairly simple motors, any help would be appreciated
