No matter what I do I cannot get my 2005 ne whizzer to start.
I previously had some help from someone more knowledgeable than I and we had it running minus some issues with clutch break in, so it didn’t really get up to speed (that was the only real issue previously).
It’s sat unstarted for some time. Gas tank was empty, oil was almost gone (has a small leak from the drain plug, previous owner wallowed it out, so makes sense it would be dry)
It’s had new lifters, proper clearances when installed, head and copper gasket(?) , carbuerator (denki 26mm), spark plug (ngk iridium), oil change, new gas. New auto clutch, unrelated to it starting but mentioning it. All of the new stuff is from Quenton from a few years ago, but it was working shortly after it was all installed.
Battery is most assuredly dead but I think it’s disconnected, and I don’t care about accessories right now.
I pulled the fork cover off and there were some wires disconnected so I reconnected them. Previous owner looks to have fixed some broken ones previously and fixed them from the back rather than pulling off the cover. There is one broken black wire, that if broken looks to loop back to the same loom, I don’t get why that would be. . . It’s the only thing that’s weird, and so fixing it seems unsure.
I know I’m getting fuel and spark, and for a blip when I reconnected the fuel line (to check it wasn’t clogged or something) to the carb I cranked it over and it seemed like it was about to start, but nope.
I am in the Bay Area, CA, and don’t have a truck to transport it but would gladly buy someone a beer and a tank of gas for any and all help. I’d rather learn how to fish than just be given a cooked fish here, but I’ll take getting it running and walking through the troubleshooting over it still not running.
