Canada Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I just got an old chappy 50cc. I cleaned the carb really well, replaced the spark plug. When I kick it over I HAVE SPARK! ANd there is good compression. However it does not start? I even tried pouring a little bit of gas directly into the carb. Nothing. I tried taking oit the spark plug, puring a tiny bit if gas in there and quickly replacing the plug and kicking it over......I thought that would at least ignote that little bit of gas, but nothing? I DO NOT have a battery installed, the toggle kill switch on the right side handle bar I tried all 3 positions and no change. I am surprised, especially if there is spark and fuel in the chamber, should it not at least ignite that fuel? Do I need battery installed to start it? Could it be my kill switch? Thought and thanks Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Have you tried a new plug. Yours may be sparking outside the engine but failing under load. Doubt it will be the kill switch as you wouldn't get a spark inside or outside the engine Probably better sticking a battery in place to give it a boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
