I just picked up a little 96 yamaha pw50 2 stroke dirt bike, and the thing doesnt want to start for some reason. Im a total 2 stroke noob , but so far ive figured out that it :
IS getting spark
has decent compression at spark plug hole
exhaust doesn't seem to be clogged
I took apart the carb (never took apart a carb before) and it looked pretty clean, and I could see through the little brass orifice that goes between the bowl and the top of the carb (is that the "jet"?)
there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of suction at the carb inlet, but maybe a 50cc 2 stoke doesn't make a whole lot of suction?
anybody out there have any ideas? could it be the reeds? do those go bad?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
