i really really REALLY HOPE ITS A PANELBEATERS! this is why i work on my own bike... tanks dented like a %$^#% though :lol:
its a 2 smoke!
power for coil. right. we have now ascertained that it runs a self contained coil, just like the millions of chainsaws brushcutters pocket rockets and other small two(and four!) stroke engines... contoured to the flywheel, steel reacts with magnets embedded in flywheel, fancy wire and circuits inside make spark at right time. single terminal goes....NO WHERE! attach it to earth and theres the kill switch.
that doesnt seem to have been pointed out yet. dont attach a wire so it can RUN. earthing it kills it.
pop plug, stuff ya pinkie in the cap and pull the rope briskly..:b_grind:. spark means spark means go, collect $200 if mummies rich, all set. dont use your finger you fool! use the plug lying on the side of the head so you can see the spark...
no spark means new coil time. poop
a capful of petrol down the intake - carb having been removed for cleaning - usually proves the point.
so. its poppin? but not running. having eliminated spark, its down to a few things.
one. carbs blocked. pretty simple things on pocket rockets, about 10 parts max. usually the main jet blocking.
two. reed valves stuck. ive seen one folded in half. behind the black thing between the carb and crankcase on these things. who folded it? not I!
whats a reed valve?
:google:
almost as funny as a car "mechanic" saying his two stroke was stuffed cus the piston never opened the inlet up into the cylinder... erm piston porting? :confused-smiley-013
any ways. another thread, another forum
number three. cylinders buggered, rings stuffed, engines not even worth scrapping...
