I have searched through the forum for similar problem diagnosis and read lots of help and advice so thanks to all...
However I still have the same problem but have worked through alot in the last week..
Can someone please help?
Basically it starts and runs for a few seconds then dies. I've checked and replaced some hoses for fuel/air leaks..there seems to be none. It can be sucked into the carb by mouth and into the filter and out. I replaced the primer which squirts direct into engine as you guys know..and it fires. But it runs a few seconds then cuts. However three days ago i did get it to run for a few minutes when throttle on 3/4 and in forward gear ( but stalled when placed in neutral)
I've done alot of things to this lately when i got it it seem the exhaust or water telltale hose which comes out of the top just by lid base via a hose at the back..was blocked with dirt/sludge..so yes I cleaned it (is that exhaust? i figured it was just maybe blocked...)
Have also taken it down the shop and got carbs cleaned and a compression test..compression was good
When it comes to electronics it had a bad earth or switch on the safety switch black wires//so wasnt starting initially. I got this info from downloading cdi electronics 2stroke. with that disconnected it ''fires''
I get 12v via multimeter when i pull the flywheel to the points at the ends of both connectors which go onto the cdm coils(2)
and 90% of the time i get spark but not sure how intermittant to both sparkies(yes cleaned/replaced)
But still it doesn't CONTINUE!
When I got it it had heaps of dirty fuel so i preplaced it with 50/1 mix..was aso pretty much unused for over a year...
I have no idea if the tell tale comes out as it doesnt run long enough
any advice would be much appreciated..I've been working on it for a week and am pretty keen to finish it off
Please help if you can!
Do i have to test trigger/magnet now..if so how can i tell? where else can there be too much air getting in? it goes pop after three seconds
I do see a little spark inside the flywheel and under..is this normal? rubbing magnet plates??
Thanks
