99 Elite Stalled

[lishperton]

Picked up a 99 Elite this weekend. Has a 70cc big bore on it. Ran phenomenally, no issues whatsoever. It's a practically new setup, maybe 60-70 miles on it so far. Started it up this morning, took off and at 15mph it completely shut off and wouldn't start back up. Just stalled right there when I was giving it gas. Sounded like it wasn't warmed up/ready to go and then it just stalled. I didn't have time to mess with it and walked it home, got in my car and drove to work. Any idea on the problems? I've barely had a chance to use it but the last four days it's ran nothing but amazingly.

EDIT: Went home after 2 hours from it stalling, tried starting it again, no-go. Both kickstart and electric aren't getting it to turn over.

So basically I'm screwed?

[dun rite]

engine won't spin? or just doesn't start?

Starter just continually tries to start the engine but it never starts. Kickstart does the same, it sounds like its a normal kickstart motion without the engine starting afterward.

I'll have to check when I get home to determine if there's a spark. I have no way to check compression. I've got a very limited set of tools now that I've moved from a house back into an apartment.

have to ask. kill switch isn't activated is it. has happened to people before.

check to make sure plug wire didn't pop off.
check wire connections to cdi including ground wires.

I would start at spark. If there is spark. Make sure u got gas and gas flow. I had a gas gage that never moved more then 1/4 . Then I would check the carb might be plugged up.

A little update:

Tried starting it that night after I got back home, wouldn't start.

Had to work the next two days and the weather was bad so I didn't take a look at the Elite.

Went to Autozone, got the compression checker. Came back, tried starting it on a whim, and it fired right up. Let it run for about 10 minutes, took it out and it's been completely fine ever since. Not a clue what caused any of this really.
