Starting fluid and electric starter have been tried and the engine is still dead.The plug gets wet with gasoline. There is some popping when handflipped but when the el.starter is applied it is completely dead no matter what. For those of you who jumps in here at the end, read the whole thread, everything has been tried to get the engine running. This have happened to TWO different SPE 26`s. As said before they start and run good the first day and next day nothing at all will make them start. Compression is better day two than day one due to some running in time the first day when the engines actually starts. I am a frustrated friend of Yallaair. Me and him combined makes for a really smart and competent team( just kidding) at least average and a we are not able to get this engine started. Did I mention that I can start my MVVS 26cc gasser in a matter of no time? We are not unfamiliar with engines at all. He is a ship machinist and I am a scootertuning freak
