Hi everyone thanks in advance for any help that i can be given
I have a chinese 2stroke, shift kit and x chamber. My bike's been running fine for months now but the other day it just died while i was riding along. No coff, no splutter no backfire just died. I had this happen before and it was a faulty coil so that was the first thing i checked. Pulled the plug and sat it on the head as i kicked it over and it had spark. Non the less i replaced the coil and cdi with a brand new one but still made no difference. Tried multiple spark plugs and leads and boots but no difference.
I figured it must be fuel. rebuilt my carb (but it looked fine inside) Sealed it all with Hylomar gasket jointing compound as well as to the intake plus an O ring to make sure it was all airtight. Resealed the intake to jug too.
Drained the old fuel out of the tank and checked the filter inside. All fine. Checked my inline filter and fuel hose by blowing through it but it was also fine and unblocked. I just got some new fuel mixed at 32/1 with a good synthetic 2 stroke oil (same as always) but it still made no difference. My plug is wet and stinks of fuel so i know it is getting fuel.
Now i have a boost bottle. I was wondering if there was a leak there, even just the slightest of leaks would it cause it not to start???
I've got full compression with no leaks in any gaskets at all. This bike is my transport and been running great for a while but i now have a real headscratcher.
If anyone needs anymore info please just ask. I am even pretty handy with a camera too if needed.
Cheers again everyone and keep up the good work
