hi. I have a used 31cc 2 stroke i am making a small go-cart with. The seller said it had a leaky bladder. I have no clue what he meant by bladder. Right after I paid for it, I tried to get it running. After pulling the starter untill my hand had a bloody welt on it, it puffed out lots of white smoke and bogged constantly. It dripped oil out of the muffler, too. Then it flooded itself WHILE running. Once stopped, it leaked gas from the carb. Couldn't start it. I had it in peices many times, and noticed a rigid diaphragm. I fixed that by soaking it in penetrant, and gave it a carb clean. Today it ran perfectly, with almost no smoke, and reved like my KTM race bike. But it still leaked gas from the carb. And when I checked the spark plug, it was black and crusty. Any ideas? Been working on it for weeks now. Thanks!
P.S. It has tons of compression! Will this help or hurt my torque?
