I got up today with good intentions, to finish fixing the sound system in my car then to work on a mini 49cc quad that i plan to sell on eBay.
after finishing the sound system i get started on the mini. After many failed attempts i still cant get it started. . it worked 2 days ago. i pull apart the carb, check the jets, try a different plug, check for spark, put new fuel that was just mixed, check for compression check airtight seals, check everything, still wont start.
I begin to think that it is now 4.00 Pm and we have just reached our top temp of 12.5 degrees here in laverton and while i am working on the bike i can still see vapours comming off my breath.
So i tried my 49cc stacey - this thing starts 1st or second pull every time no matter what. Low and behold im standing there pulling at the starter for 20 mins without anything, not a hint of ignition.
I try yet another bike i have in my garage - a 39cc 2 stroke scooter. Check choke, spark, compression, fuel - pull the starter for 20 mins and nothing.
all the while theres 2 kids hoonig up and down my street on a suzuki thumper and because the air is so still i can hear the 2 bangers and big 450`s going around laverton MX track.
WTF ! if everyone elses bikes will start, why wont any of mine start today ?
