Hello everyone. I'm new and going bald fast cuz I'm pulling my hair out over this crazy bike #13.
The bike: Craigslist purchase Huffy Beach Addition - New HD wheels w/ 12g spokes, new tires & tubes, new chain, fresh grease in BB & Headset.
The engine: New Grubee 66cc, New NT carb
Mods: Mildly Ported intake, trimmed piston.
The problem: The engine will not start. The engine did run after swapping all kinds of parts. Will not restart.
Wiring: Blue to Blue - Black to Black, solder & heat-shrink connections - Magneto did not come w/ white wire.
Fuel: 91 octane w/ royal purple synthetic 2 stroke oil. Mixed properly, taken from a working 66cc bike, less than 30 days old on the mix.
Clutch: Working properly, cable is adjusted properly.
The Story: Would not start after several tries. Tried over & over but would not start. Pulled plug, wet. Checked spark by turning the rear wheel counter clockwise. Lot's of blueish spark. Back together and back on the road still wont start. Starting with choke on (up), then part closed, finally turned off, no start. Pulled plug, wet. Install new plug, turned off fuel, let sit for 1-2 hours, tired again, nothing but wet plug. Still has spark. Tried new carb. New carb flooded engine so bad that fuel was pouring out of the muffler and off the rear engine mount. Installed 3rd new carb, still wet plug. Let sit overnight, fresh NGK plug and still can not get to run. Still has spark. Let sit, tied again. We plug and now has NO spark. removed kill switch, no spark. Installed new CDI and now has spark. roadtest and it runs. Let run for a few mins to clean out the excessive fuel. Called it a day.
Next day, will not start. good spark. wet plug. let still, no start, wet plug again. For giggles pulled magneto, sanded the bottom. checked the position of the key slot on the crank. Key position is at 1 o:clock at TDC. Back together and still wont start. Has spark but now firing through the side of the stock plug boot. removed boot, cut wire back 1/4" reinstall new boot, good spark again. Engine still will not start and has wet plug. Removed carb. Made sure float was set to 21mm (gasket removed), moved the mixture setting up one notch leaner. Added Teflon to the drain plug, fuel inlet, jet, jet housing and added anaerobic sealant to bowl just because. Installed new 3 pron warmer plug, still has wont start and has good spark. WTF??? BTW, I did try a new piston and cylinder head out of desperation, nothing changed.
