cyborg Alleyoop I got it running! simply changed the plug and charged the battery and voila! I thought it was way more complex than that haha. Learning curve I guess, anyways thanks a million times guys! See you next problem!(Probably like tomorrow with my scooter)

Alleyoop O.k., I tested the plug, I cranked it several times without the engine firing, took it out and it was black, sooty, and oily. So now that means I got to get a new plug? It was on the motor, but maybe I did it wrong or imagined the blue sparks.. anyways I'll start by replacing the plug. cyborg didn't start... I'll try with another spark plug, maybe I did the test wrong or something.

cyborg oh ok. I'll try that, I bet it'll start, but then if it's the carb, I mean, I cleaned it and all.. I'm starting to get suspicious about the fuel tank/hoses, but then again if I disassemble the carb again and the float bowl is full it means the gas is reaching the carb no? So that only leaves the path the gas takes from the carb to the piston?

cyborg needle seemed fine when I cleaned the carb, will check again for the sake of it. Alleyoop the plug is new and only ran a week, it wasn't wet, simply black and dirty. Also I definitely smelled gas coming out the spark plug hole so I assume it is reaching even though there shouldn't be a problem then, so I thought maybe the mixture is to air"y" and it needs more gas to spark? also, this is a new motor and new piston, maybe adjustment issues?

Ok, checked spark plug, there was blue sparks, checked compression, blew my thumb off lightly (seemed like low compression but it was there), I also took pictures of the carb, hoses, and intake manifold, plus some more angles, and I cleaned the carb. I don't know what is going wrong now but I just really want to learn to fix this so throw at me whatever your think it is and I will check it. racerx, JR, cyborg, Alleyoop, katastruff, jerryscript jerryscript tried with it on and off the tank, button or crank, no change..

Btw, I tried starting it using the button and my new battery drained very quickly when I had just fully charged it..

couldn't check for spark or compression yet, but the intake manifold seems all right and I can't find the vac lines on my carb tho.. only thing I see that could be it is a tube starting at the top of the carburetor going to the gas tank..

will check for spark, compression, intake manifold, carb vac lines, and the ignition circuit (tho could you tell me what should be in that circuit? thanks)

no, I do get it running for a half second when well cranked, so I guess the ignition is happening.

btw, why I wrote all this is because I think the problem was pre-existant and maybe the fall made it worse?
