i am in the final stages of my build and i am using a ktm-50 49cc aftermarket "crate" motor (claims 9-10 hp) from martin and slater. i have never seen it run before.
i have installed an exhaust with a muffler and a 2.75" expansion chamber. i am using the carburetor that came with the motor
It wont start.
i turned on the fuel, kicked the starter repeatedly (i can hear the piston moving and i later confirmed that it pumps air in and out when in tried it with spark plug out)
...just no ignition
opened choke
...no difference
i pulled the plug and it was wet with fuel. i let the whole thing dry out, rmoved plug, shut petcock, kickstarted a few times, and let it sit for 1 hr.
checked and changed spark plug. and wire ...good spark
checked fuel... definate flow
i replaced the plug kickstarted and....
..nothing!!! no ignition whatsoever onmly the sound if the piston moving
help????
thanks
