Ok, now we need to go into the carb, unscrew the big nut on top of the carb and pull out the throttle assembly, disconnect the fuel line from the carb and remove the carb from the motor. Put it on a bench and remove the fuel bowl from the carb its held on with 2 screws,inside you will find the float and a brass coloured prong,this prong is held in with a pin, very gently remove the prong and there is a small black needle hanging from the prong. Do not lose any pieces as they are all small. When you get this far let me know.Meantime go out and buy a small spray can of carb cleaner.

Will they get the bike going? Will they trow their hands up in frustration and go for a beer?

Tune in next time for the thrilling conclusion of "Days of Our Bikes".

rotfl Back to our regularly scheduled programing.

Plug gap or just the plug? Easy and cheaper then carb trade. Never happened to me but have read here that even seeing spark is not the same as good spark. Dunno, just a thought.

I had similar problem. Turned out the carb float was leaky and filled with fuel, and became a "sink", causing irreversible flooding. Does your carb leak fuel? If so, this is probably your problem.
Shut off the fuel valve and try starting. Engine may run until float bowl empties.
New floats can be purchased from Zoombicycles.com.
