Greetings and salutations. First post here.
My son drug home this 2-stroke bike this summer. He had it running and I guess it ran fine for quite some time. I personally never messed with it at this point.
A couple weeks ago he asked me to order him a new CDI. He said he was just riding down the street and it died - wouldn't start - no spark.
I checked it out. Magneto checked out good with ohm meter. New plug. No spark. I ordered a CDI from bike berry. It started and he rode it up the block and back. Now it won't start.
This morning I helped him clean up the wiring and do some troubleshooting.
1.) New spark plug. New spark plug wire. (had this stuff laying around so why not) We have a good blue spark at the plug.
2.) Pulled carb. Removed bowl. Verified fuel in bowl. Needle/seat work fine.
3.) Pulled magnet and verified the key was still in place.
***We have NOT tried to tow start it yet. Woke up to snowy roads.***
The durn thing should start right up. Fresh mixed fuel. Have fuel in carb. Have good blue spark.
Only thing is ever since he brought this home it has been operated without a muffler. There is just about 4" of pipe coming off the head and pointed down.
Any guidance at all would be appreciated.
