choke on or off? usually they won't attempt to fire unless the chokes on to pop them off first, also could be a needle setting....I'd say one of those two if you got good compression

This happened to my leopard not to long ago. bought a new plug, cleaned the carb and even tried starter spray with no sucess. What it ended up being was somehow fuel got into the crankcase. I pulled the cylinder off the crankcase and found a good amount of fuel in the bottom end. I drained the fuell, blew it out with the air compressor, reassembled it and it fired right up. good luck

if there is fuel in the bulb it SHOULD be in the carb, and if its dry in the cyl i would try cleaning the carb. maybe the jets got dirty or clogged????

I don't really see why the spark plug is dry, if you pulling and pulling and pulling, I would think it would be wet. [sm=confused.gif]needle settings[sm=confused.gif]

Is the pulse hole clear from the engine block to the carb. If the pulse hole is plug it wont work the pump in the carb.

Default RE: fg monster wont start...

well...................finally got it started...............looks like the needles needed some adjusting......question .......it has a 3600 battery pack.......I am getting some uneven idle ......seems like radio glitching....i have a airtronics mx3 with a 5955tg brake /throttle.....seems to be glitching there.................the throttle linkage seems to be rubbing on the jet pro v2 metal mount near pinion gear...Could that be causing the glitch???....When I go in to give the low speed needle a tweak.....idle goes up and down a bit....

Could it just be a battery being low on a charge(cant check ...At work) any help or suggestions would be great????

thanks

Yes,metal to metal can cause some glitching.Try insulate it with some rubber or similar so it dont rub.Do you have the shielded plug cap on your engine?

Is the radio DSM or FM. I have had that problem with FM that is why I switch to a DX2.
