Ok, I bought this off someone up here and it won't start. It sounds like it wants to but doesn't. I figured it was a bad spark plug so I bought a new one and the same thing happens. It just cranks. No spark I guessed. When I take out the spark plug, it almost sounds like it's gonna start (better without the spark plug) but of course it's not going to without it. Anybody know anything about these or have any ideas for me? Any input would be great. Thanks.

 

loosen the gas cap and try starting it. I know it sounds stupid, but if you put it on too tight they will not start - no gas. This is what happened with my neighbors...

 

hey man, thanks i am gonna try that when i get back home. I actually went out and hit it with some starter fluid, held the gas and brake and it started right up. but as soon as i let off the gas it stalled so i will try your method. thanks again.

 

np.

 

are there any mods for these pocket bikes? liek exhaust or motor upgrades or soemthign?? im looking into one and didnt know if there were any aftermarket upgrades you could do to it...

 

yeah, you can mod them. they have exhausts and all types of stuff. one guy i know had gotten his to over 100. went on the interstate with it and was passing cars. crazy, and illegal. anyways, i tried unscrewing the gas cap a bit and still not working. i've seen some other people selling these on drag and they seem to have the same problem. has anyone actually fixed it?

 

ok well the starter fluid will do for now but does anyone think this could need a new starter?
