Default Re: 2 stroke won't start/stay running

I was gonna suggest closing the plug gap a bit to make sure you are getting spark. People like to set their gap large because it makes a well tuned engine possibly run better. But when you just want to get a bike running, a gap of .018 or .020" is good enough. Especially with our super-duper-adequate ignition system.

Now I kinda want to ask if you wear a helmet...

I think the richest part of this debacle was that a new mag would not have solved a thing!
