You know i never looked ill check that out when I get out of work. If it is what does that mean and what should i do about it.

Also.. I had a problrm with one of the holes where the muffler mounts. The screw would not go all the way in and it went in a little wonkey as well i noticed so there is a mm gap. Could that maybe be the problem?

Is there fuel in the float bowl? You can always drain it and let it fill again. This will purge any grit that might have got picked up.

That wouldn't cause a starting issue, but you would risk blowing out the gasket and putting stress on the other bolt and threads. It sounds like maybe the bolt was cross threaded. If you have a set of metric taps it would be a good idea to chase those threads out, and make sure to use a bottom-out tap so that the threads are cut as far in as possible into the hole.

Honestly, I would look into trying to drill start that motor at this point, if you happen to have a drill and a socket adapter.

Well yes I'm sure that they are corrected and I do have some caps but I'm not sure if your metric or not I never looked I got them used. I have drill started it and I get nothing. That is how I check to see if I have Spark. I'm at my wit's end at this point. I mean it literally started up I took a ride for 2 miles to work went to go home from work wouldn't start haven't been able to get It 2 since

That sure sounds like an electrical issue, does any of the wires have cracks or poor connections?

Sparkplug boot?

 

[Chainlube]

What about the kill switch? Do you have a picture of all your connections?
