bogging down under load

Post by shane_lxi »

Just bought this spree and I love it! After work today though, my nephew knocked it over and now it won't start. I don't know if its coincidence or if that's what did it, but either way it won't start. I took the plug out, and it's sparked once, but not again. Anything commonly go bad on these things after they tip?

Check to see if the connections to the ignition coil came loose when it fell over.

Check all the electrical connectors in the ignition system. The stator, pulse generator, CDI and the coil. Also make sure the "stop/run" switch is in the run position.

Replaced the spark plug and it fired right off this morning. I think my nephew was messing with the throttle and may have flooded it. Spark plug looked burnt out anyway. Thanks for the replies! Ill make a build thread soon :)
