You probably flooded it out of the get go. If the plug gets wet with fuel it will never start. When this happens leave the plug out for an hour reinstall and try to start it like its warm.Chief409 said:It RUNS, and sometimes NOT!Got off work and decided to get the Trenchers dirty. Well, they got dirty all right, but not because the engine was running. LSN 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns - CHECK, Killer Bee - STEADY GREEN, Fuel - full, Prime - YES, bulb full, CHOKE - ON, Pull for pop - no pop, FLOODED. Try CHOKE OFF, nothing. DAMM that worked last time.
So out comes the spark plug, it's all wet. Check for spark - good. Turn the buggy upside down, wait 15 - 30 min and repeat all the above. Many times, I have a couple of blisters. 90 degrees out here, the heck with this! Drain the tank and head inside.
Is there a kit to replace the recoil starter so you can use a drill motor instead? AH, I answered my own question. I just saw the thread about Rotostart.
LargeScaleOnline is currently out of stock of this 3402 - Drill Starter for CY or Zenoah Motors - By GTB Racing, but it's in my Wish List. When I get the email saying they're in, I'm getting one. Even if it's BEFORE Christmas!
Till then, the dang recoil starter. I'm wearing gloves tomorrow when I try.
