My 80cc 2 stroke engine on my bike will not start. This is my first motor bike, I bought it pre built off a guy on craigslist, and I'm sure this is where my first problem lies, but here we are. It spun like a top all the way home from the store I met the guy at, and some more around the neighborhood and then sputtered out and died.
I have replaced the carburetor, taken the brand new carburetor off and apart and really got in there with a can of cleaner just to make sure.
The carb bowl has fuel in it, float seems to be in working order.
I've also had some local guys over helping, we've tuned the carb albeit it doesn't seem to matter where any of the idle screws or throttle cables are positioned, she tries to start and sputters right out.
I checked for a spark, plug seems to be sparking correctly, but just to be sure I replaced the CDI box and magneto coil, checked again for spark, still seems to be sparking fine.
I then checked for compression, I removed the spark plug, stuck my pinkie finger in the hole, gave it a spin, compression seems textbook.
THEN in a fit of desperation, I drained the gas tank and put brand new fuel in there, again to no avail.
The only difference I've had in sound is since cleaning the carb and changing the fuel, I get a little backfire "pop" after it sputters out.
I tried doing everything I know to do before coming to the forums, but here I am, clueless! Any ideas? Thanks!
