I bought this 80cc engine kit brand new last summer (2011)...installed it myself, went to start it, no luck. Took me about 1 hour to get it somewhat running, but only for about 5 seconds.
I put it away for the winter. I just got it back out tonight to mess with it. Fresh gas, still no luck. Not even wanting to try and turn over. running about 16:1 ratio (new engine) I was told to run this at first.
I have the wires black to black, blue to blue...the yellow from the Kill Switch spliced to the blue, the black from the kill switch spliced to the black. the white is capped off. This kit didn't come with instructions, but this is what I learned how to wire it from google.
I have a feeling it's my carb. the kit came with 2 carbs, and no intake. One carb bolts directly to the head. It's the one I'm using obviously, because I have no intake. The other carb seems to be the common carb for these kits. I need the intake to try it.
Any suggestions? buy the intake and try the other carb? 32:1? what position is choke? up or down? wired right?
thanks! -drew
