I have a 2005 MXU 250 that won't start.

If your 2005 MXU 250 is not starting, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and fix the problem:

1. Check the battery: Make sure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. If the battery is old or weak, it may need to be replaced.

2. Check the fuel system: Ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is turned on. Check the fuel filter to make sure it is clean and not clogged.

3. Check the spark plug: Make sure that the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. If the spark plug is dirty or damaged, it may need to be replaced.

4. Check the carburetor: Ensure that the carburetor is clean and free of debris. If there are any clogs or blockages, clean or replace the carburetor.

5. Check the starter: If the starter is not engaging or turning over the engine, it may need to be replaced or repaired.

6. Check the electrical system: Inspect all electrical connections, fuses, and wiring for damage or loose connections.

If none of these steps fix the issue, it may be necessary to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the problem.

PW50 yamaha. It starts, runs but cannot rave.

There could be a few different reasons why your kids PW50 Yamaha can start and run but cannot accelerate or "rave". Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the air filter: Make sure the air filter is clean and not clogged. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing a lack of power.
  2. Check the carburetor: Make sure that the carburetor is clean and the jets are not clogged. A clogged carburetor can also restrict airflow to the engine, causing a lack of power.
  3. Check the spark plug: Make sure the spark plug is clean, dry and in good condition. A dirty or worn spark plug can cause a lack of power or no start.
  4. Check the fuel filter: Make sure the fuel filter is clean and not clogged. A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the carburetor, causing a lack of power.
  5. Check the exhaust: Make sure the exhaust is not clogged, as this can restrict the engine's ability to breathe and cause a lack of power.
  6. Check the transmission oil: Make sure the transmission oil is at the correct level and not overfilled or contaminated.
  7. Check the drive chain: Make sure the drive chain is not loose or damaged.
It's important to note that these are general steps and the specific procedures may vary depending on the exact model and type of your PW50 Yamaha. It's recommended to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for the specific instructions and precautions for your bike. Additionally, it's best to seek professional help if you're not familiar with bike works.

I have stihlsaw ts350super i have fitted new piston and cylinder it will run for a short time only when i pour petrol in plug hole when running sounds good

If the chainsaw engine stops after a few seconds, the carburetor might be clogged or have a restriction. If old fuel was left in the chainsaw for a long time some of the volatile ingredients may have evaporated, leaving a thicker, stickier product that is more like varnish. This sticky fuel can clog up the small jets and ports in the carburetor causing the engine to only run for a few seconds. Clean the carburetor with carburetor cleaner. If that isn't effective, rebuild or replace the entire carburetor

2001 Dakota wont start. Died at a red light and would not start back up. Check for trouble codes but had none.

If a vehicle won't start, it's one of two things: no spark, or no fuel. If the vehicle is turning over, you can check for bad coils, distributor cap/points, or bad spark plugs/wires. On the other end, you can check for clogged fuel injectors/carburetor, clogged fuel filter, etc.

I HAVE A 1988 MUSTANG 5.0 THAT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. I HAVE PUT NEW PLUGS AND WIRES ,NEW GAS WILL TURN OVER BUT WONT START

Check the fuel pressure at the Carburetor or fuel rail, depending on which you have. Most likely the gas that was in the rail or carburetor has dried out and gummed up the injectors or needle valve holes. To verify, if you have a carburetor you can pour a small amount of gas in the throttle body of the carburetor and try to start it. If it starts that confirms the problem and you will need to clean the carburetor with a rebuild.

Frandosartruns very rich and backfires when accelerator is depressed when it does start it idles fine at 800 rpm

Check the airfilter - might be clogged up. If ok - clean the carb - first from the outside with engine housing cleaner or just WD40. Start only when completely dried. If nothing clean the whole carburetor.
