choppedminx Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi allI know its a bit of a cheek asking a question about a minimoto, but this is foxing me.My son has a minimoto that was running fine 2 months ago, now it just will not start!Carb is clean, and there is petrol getting through to the bore as the plug gets wet, there is a spark when tested, and you can feel good compression when pulling pullstart.But it just will not start, cant even detect a cough or splutter!Any ideas?

Stu Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 if the plug is wet it may be too wet to start the bike spark plugs can take some drying i would try a new plug first also check air filter if it has one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Warm the plug. Clean and gap it then stick it in a blue flame to dry and warm it. Gas cooker is good. Pop it back in the motor quick before it cools. Helps to stop flooding wetting the plug when it's cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
