Define "Motor has been rebuilt". When everything looks right, and it still won't run, the culprit is usually the crankshaft seals. These seals, when they go bad, disrupt the air/fuel mixture that is pulled into the crankcase and then pushed up through the ports into the cylinder. They suck air and make the mixture too lean. Another boogey-man that will keep it from running correctly is when the exhaust pipe gets clogged from the carbon build-up caused by the gas/oil mixture. Usually you can remove the baffle and clean it. I would suggest a Catholic priest who rebuilds 2 stroke motors...there's bound to be a few in CT. Best of Luck! ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- After over six years of tinkering, I'm ready to put a match to my Super 10. I am convinced it is possessed. Motor has been rebuilt, carb rebuilt, countless hours adjusting everything on it and it still doesn't run right. The other day I thought I finally got it running right and went on a good test ride. Today - no start. Has fuel and spark. So does anyone know a mechanic, excorsist or firefighter in the CT area? |
