Look here Artmaker, as my 49cc is bad too https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=49cc+carburetor+kit&ul_noapp=true
You have touched on the right idea. Small engine/lawn mower mechanic will give a correct diagnosis.Thought I had the problem down. There was a black mystery cable coming from the motor I don't recall removing… Neighbor suggested it's a vacuum line
Well it's not.
I found a photo of this motor new and that black hose goes into the air filter. Fits perfectly there. Hooked it up. Still the bike will NOT fire. And I can't even pull all the way.
Already chipped the hand grip because several times it snapped back to the motor right out of my hand.
Ever try to restart a lawnmower when the blades are totally clogged with grass? How that simply won't pull at all unless you clear out the grass? Well that's how this feels.
I can barely get the motor to turn one time. Can't even pull all the way. NO fire at all.
Only two things I have not tried is disconnecting the kill button. I doubt that's the issue though. Go back to my first post here. Bike WAS running, just dying at stops, when I'd coast and let off the gas, and got harder and harder to start. So kinda doubt it's the kill switch.
And checking the spark plug since I don't have a single socket that fits AND is long enough. Husband said he'd look at it, but that's not happening either. Again it WAS running. Still thinking somehow this is a carb thing. But dang, I cleaned it TWICE now. Last one it soaked in carb cleaner for almost two days, blasted it with air, put in new gaskets…. NOTHING.
I need to locate a mechanic since clearly I have no clue what else to do here.
Very frustrated. I so love to ride on Memorial day. Not going to happen….. again.
Really wishing I would have just bought a new 2 stroke when my old one wore out. Never had NEAR the issues I'm having with this.
So how does anyone find a mechanic for these? Car shops look at me like I'm crazy. Bike shops won't even let it in the door with a gas motor on it.
Maybe I can find someone with a bunch of lawn mowers for sale. Good bet they know how to fix up the motors right?
Just disgusted.
