Hey guys i attempted to fire up this baby for the first time and i could
have yanked the pull stater to Thy kingdom come but it refused to start.
I noticed that gas was spitting out of the exhaust and when i took out
the plug i saw no blue flame even when i put in another one nada.
The fuel lines are full of gas and the primer bulb is also full so what is the
problem out of all the gas vehicles i have owned i never had any problems
anyway there is always a first.
I am counting on you great bunch of guys to help me sort this out. [8D]
Thanks in advance.

Hey your pm said to drain gas from cylinder put in back plug then "close Choke"
but above you say open choke so which is it ??
Actually you said make sure choke is off which i interpret to mean closed ??

close choke pull to start a few time ,if it make the poping sound ,open choke ,and pull to start should fire up.

Sorry for the break but we had a power outage. [:@][:@]
Anyway i did all the above and still no cigar.
I am still noticing gas spitting out of the exhaust and i see two lines to
the carb instead of the usual one.One of them is always full of gas but
the other one has some at bottom and a little in the middle but none at top.
What next guys.

sounds like its flooded.pull the plug let it air out and try again.[&o] also flip the truck over and get the gas out of the bottom of the crankcase.you can even take a dry rag and hold it over the plug hole and pull the cord a few times to help get the excess gas out.prime maybe once or twice.

Thanks but i already thought of that because with the onroad vehicles the engine
is mounted at a different angle than offroad so i took off the intake and observed
the choke when it is closed and open. The exhaust can almost touches the chassis
as in the following link.

You know guys i did not even know you had another hose leading from
carb to tank being tank return hose but i saw it on my stadium truck
and after examining it i feel that maybe the lines are crossed on sportline
truck so i will switch them and see.[8D]

huw4027

Well they turned out to be on right so i am back to square one. [:@]

[8D]Hi huw4027, When you push the primer bulb do it just enough to get the gas there & no more! If you heep pushing it after the gas is there it will flood it out.

huw4027

Yes i disconnected both hoses and pressed the primer bulb till carb was
cleared i am going to let it dry over night and try again tomorrow because
i am getting really frustrated so a break is in order so thanks for your
help guys and tomorow we will see what happens.[8D]

What fuel are you using and what is the oil mixture? IF the oil mixture is too thick it will not start either.

huw4027

I don't think it is the oil mixture because that same mixture was used in my
stadium truck and also Baja and they started easy.
I am going to let it air out thoroughly and after work when i go home i will
try to start it and if it still does not start i will remove carb and replace it with
one i have on my 29cc motor that is sitting on ice.
