| Anyone know how to work on 2-strokes?
From all my years of working on my 2 cycle snow machines,you never ever use " Starting Fluid" to get a 2 cycle going.
If the bike has been sitting for more than 3 months even with fuel stabilizer in it, you should
A: Drain all gas
B: Remove carburator and clean ( including pilot and main jets)
C: Replace Carb and check for fuel flow by opening the bottom bowl screw on carb.
D : Fill with 87 octane
After that if you have good fuel, clean carbs and a spark and it won't kick over , take it to a big steep hill and see what Pop starting does.
Also if engine storage oil was not used you may have some internal corrosion problems that may need to be worked out.
After that valves are your next step. |
