7g Ghost Racer not running: DESPERATE FOR HELP

[Jayroma]

Ya, KC seems to know a lot, lol he might have just pegged the problem. Id defiantly look into that, before scrapping the kit.

Sounds like you are running rich. Would explain the lack of choke then dying when warmed up. Do you live in a high elevation?

gasbike buys factory second non epa approved engines and the 7G the sucks.
That aside, it sounds like a valve rocker arm issue to me.
That is the parts under the silver cover on top of the engine.
I don't have the settings in front of me so just search here for something like 'valve adjustment' or the like...

Hi KC. Thanks for your comment. I bought myself a set of feeler gauges and checked the clearance on the intake and exhaust. Everything checked out fine. I found a local guy who works on small engines for a second opinion. He should be contacting me very soon for an appointment. I'll let the forum know that his assessment is.

Take care.

Sup CRAZY Dan. Running rich eh? Interesting. I live in Los Angeles. When I've cleaned my carb, the gasket on the intake manifold is wet with gas. Is that indicative of running rich? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Take care
