hi guys,
am new to the site and just wanted to ask you guys a question! my mate just bought a dodgy 125cc pitty for 150 bucks. the guy said it had spark and when we went and had a look it indeed did, it did not however run. hence the 150 bucks. we figured it just had a fuel issue "dirty jets" ect. so after the ride home in the car we took it out of the ute, cleaned the carby thoroughly. put everything back together and it started and ran. ran very rough but it ran lol. we decided to call it a night and work on it the next day. we tried re starting the bike the following day and we had lost spark. also we noticed quite a bit of fuel leaking out of the drain screw on the bottom of the bowel of the carby. this only happened everytime we "kicked" over the bike. every kick more and more petrol came out. and yes the screw is tight!. rather than muck around with everything my mate just decided to replace basically everything. it now has new 26mm carby,sparkplug, sparkplug lead, coil, and CDI unit. we also re soldered the wires "the connections were a bit dirty under the tape". but we still have no spark.....PLEASE HELP!
