Still running on my old 80cc gas chopper, has it in storage for a couple years. Now trying to start it and I am having issues.
-I replaced the magneto recently, cleaned the whole carb (needle, float bown, carb etc)
-I cleaned gas tank and fuel filter and put in new gas / oil.
-The throttle assembly seems fine as it lifts the needle when the gas / hand grip is turned
When i go to start the bike I can hear the engine is chugging and trying to start, but nothing. I adjust the air valve and adjust the carb hole setting to allow air in. The bike wont startup, and the float bowl is filling up with gas and leaking out the back of the filter.
I am going to try and clean the carb, needle etc again, any other good advice would be appreciated as I am a bit rusty with my knowledge as its been a couple years. My next option after that is to replace the CDI and or spark plug, but want to make sure gas is getting into the engine first.
Thanks for any help or advice provided!!
