hi guys,
im posting this here because im pretty sure its an electrical problem.
First off, i am using a morini clone in my build; I just installed this brand new..."out-of the -box" ktm-50 motor:
http://motomx.com/ktm50_adventure_engine.html
it is 49cc and has a reed, and comes with the appropriate curburetor tuned to it. I have an expansion chamber and a muffler
dont ask me about tuning it because:...IT WONT START...I MEAN NOT EVEN A SPUTTER....NOTHING!...just the sound of the piston pumping air.
its getting fuel, im using new gas and good yamaha 2-stroke oil at the recommended 40:1 mix, head compression is fine.
to eliminate the possibility of a fuel issue, starter fluid was tried, but it didnt work.
the spark doesnt seem great and it is inconsistent. i have checked the coil, stator, and flywheel magnet and these parts (according to two repair shops) are putting out the right resistence and power,
I changed the ground, changed all of the above components and replaced them with (other) new components. I changed the plug and the wire. I gapped the plug to about .20 and then .30
I cleaned the magnets and stator faces and blew any debris out of the ignition case with pressurized air. checked the gap between the magnet and stator faces. its about the thickness of an index card.
it still wont start.
....correction it started ONCE with absolutely ZERO effort....surprised the **** out of me!...turned right over like it was supposed to...no starter fluid. no choke. it ran like a top. i let it run for about 3 minutes and, thinking i had the problem solved, i foolishlly shut it off....and it wont start again.
This motor has 2 motorcycle repair shops stumped
can someone help me?...pleeeeeease!
