Hello !
Engine spark plug in what status is it ??? , it is easily screwed into your engine's throttle as it can get rid of compression if the engine bonnet thread is broken.
After the missed start attempts, the spark plug is always dampened with gasoline, the spark is no longer present because it is short-circuited by the existing moisture between the spark plug electrodes, it is very important that the spark plug must be clean, not wet.
Always after failing engine fails, put the spark plug out, blow the engine through a few short maneuvers, without the spark plug, then with another spark plug, carefully mount it not to cover the thread, and then mount the power cord plug to the spark plug, and try a start, if you have a shock of air, it is on the middle action.
Spark plug It is good to replace it with another one to be sure to start.
Always observe the distance of the external electrode from the center of the spark plug, this distance is very important, if it is too big it does not start, or it starts hard, goes off, etc., at a too small distance it does not turn and gets wet quickly, and the engine it worked badly.
The usual values for the distance between electrodes are around 0.7 ... 1.2 mm ... 1mm is a good distance.
The wet spark plug can be rebuilt by holding it with the electrode in the flame of a gas cooker.
Keep it in the oven flame until the outer electrode is bleached, then let it cool down normally, then clean it with a wire brush.
Follow the air route to the carburetor, do not be clogged with rags, if you have the air filter ok, etc.
As you described the symptoms, with a good spark plug, it should start.
Good luck!

Are you adding oil to the gas? (32/1 = 4 ounces per gallon)
Do you still have spark? Install a new stock spark plug.
Clean the carb, but follow these steps >

Remove the carburetor from the engine.
Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the two screws on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. Let the bike warm up then set the idle speed. This process should get you back on the road.

SOURCE: I have compression, spark, and gas/oil mix. engine not starting.

When cleaning the carb., use a De tek Brush,(used for cleaning between teeth), to clean the small portals. The smallest particles can keep it from running. More than likely though, It will be the small screen in carb. It can become clogged up to the point where you can't even see daylight through it; not good!

SOURCE: cant get my 50cc scooter to fire up-no spark. any

  • Do you see spark? If not, check the side stand kill switch. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. If broken or out of adjustment, it would kill the spark. Check for a broken wire at the side stand switch and coupler. Try moving the side stand kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it.
  • Is the handlebar kill switch on? Is it shorted out?
  • Check the fuses.
  • Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires?
  • Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center or side casing.
  • If still no spark, get CDI system and coils checked at the dealers shop.

SOURCE: My 50cc 2 stroke engine won't start, it has fuel

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

A couple of ideas:

  • fuel to the carbs - as you posted checks good;
  • fuel inside the carbs - loosen the drain screw at the bottom/bowl. Check for quality / quantity of fuel;
  • fuel into the combustion chamber - check the plug (would be wet).
For a no start 2 stroke engine with your described condition, a possibility to consider is too much / unburned 2T oil in the lower combustion chamber; remove sparkplug, air dry (or use compressed air).

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

SOURCE: WON'T START .IS 70# COMPRESSION ENOUGH. SPARK AND

70psi compression indicates it's rebuild time; the compression should be double that. You can confirm what the compression should be with good rings by putting a few drops of oil in the spark plug hole and testing compression "wet". That figure will be what a new saw would have.

I have a motovox mvs10 43cc 2hp gas powered scooter and was wondering if there is suppose to be plastic like components in fuel tank and what are reasons that could cause it not to start.

often the is a fuel filter in the tank at the end of the fuel line, if it has deteriorted then yes it could stop it from starting due to a clog in the carb. If ou have good spark then sprat a few puffs of starter fluid into air intake or on the air cleaner ( which should be clean ) . if it starts for a second or two then it's most likely your carb.

Does a ***** boy 50cc have a reed valve? Bike

Hi first thing what is the bike second thing is the engine a 2 stroke, if it is 2 stroke it most prob. has a reed valve, check that the carb needle valve is working as it should, then drain the cylinder and crank of fuel check the plug sparks, leave the carb off and put a small amount of petrol in it, try and start it if it fires once or twice, then it should start with the carb on it, if not there is a problem with the carb. good luck.

Does a husky boy 50cc have a reed

Since your Husqvarna is a two stroke engine there is almost certainly a reed valve between the carburetor and the cylinder.

Why does my moped take ages to start on kick and eletric start

Your carb is not sending enough fuel to the cylinder, or your carb is not getting enough fuel. So either the fuel filter is clogged, the carb itself needs to be taken apart and cleaned with some carb cleaner. Also replacing the spark plug will also help with starting issues.
