tootall Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I know basically fuck all about 2T engines and I'm trying to get a wee qr50 running. Its got fuel, oil and spark. Had the head off and barrel looks fine and piston top clean. No amount of kicking over is producing any sign of life. Carb off for a clean out next but anything else I should be checking?

El Gringo Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Have you had the exhaust off? Might be worth tipping it up in case it's got fuel in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerich Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Does it feel like there's much compression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootall Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not had the pipe off, will have a look at that. Feels ok for compression. Plug isnt getting wet no matter how long I spend kicking it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbloke Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Vacuum tap ? Is there a prime position ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootall Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Vacuum tap ? Is there a prime position ? Just on/off tap. Fuel pisses through when in on position (and you got the hose off, all over nice new trainers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a cigarette just yet then ! Has the carb got a drain screw/plug ? If fuel is definitely getting into float bowl , it must be blocked jets . When was it last run ?

chancho196 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Pulled the choke out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porter_jamie Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Squirt some brake cleaner up the carb and and kick it over. If it fires you need to strip the carb . Probably full of manky old 2stroke mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
