Hi all,
I need some help.
Two stroke, 80cc, memorial day it ran, but ran rough when I slowed and tried to speed up again. Got home, left it in neutral, tried fiddling with throttle, it speeds up fine. High rpm fine. Exhaust was blue, no backfireing, no sputtering. So shut it off.
Tried again in about 20 min only it would not start at all. Died as soon as I put it in neutral.
So some forum hopping, and a talk with my mechanic, rings was his first though. Sure enough we pulled the piston and one of the rings was in pieces. The other warn thin.
So... today I had them put the new rings on. Cleaned all the parts, replaced head and lower gasket (jug? I forgot the name of that one, but it's replaced.)
Also bought a new plug. Didn't need one but what the ****.
It still won't start.
It's got spark.
It's got plenty of compression.
No fire.
And both my mechanics are left scratching their heads.
What else could it be?
