I drive a 2 stroke mountain bike, i just bought three days ago. The motor was newish. it had been driven afew times. im not sure the distance.
I took it for a ride the day i got it, not going fast just checking it out. i don't know much about bikes untill the last three days when it suddenly broke down on me.
now the first day i drove it it was whicked. no stalls nothing. i did smell gas like mad though. didnt see any leaks.
so the next day i took it out. decided to go for a long drive we will say about 25 kilometers. i probably reached speeds of 50 kilometers at times. I might have driven the bike too hard im not sure. But i stopped multiple times to let it cool down.
i gunned it and went as fast as i could but not to the fullest. it had more potential it was just a small incline i was on. thats when she started to lose throttle. and giving it more did nothing for the engine. no acceration not nothing. she slowed down, still running and then died when it stopped. I could not get it to start up again.
There was no pop from the engine turning, the back wheel was locking up a bit and i could really smell gas.
I looked online for many things and the first thing they said to check was the spark plug.
i took the plug out and noticed it was dark brown. I replaced it with a nkg b6hs but still cant turn the engine over to get a spark. i disconected the kill switch and rewired the magneto to the cdi leaving the white wire isolated.
still nothing.
i took the spark plug out and tried to pedal but it so hard and it makes a grinding noise. no engine popping. or putting.
do you think maybe i have a flooded engine? maybe gas leaked out of the lines or the carb and went down into the pistons. maybe it seized. i dont know how do i check?
when the clutch is released it dont budge. no engine turning.
