So I picked up a cheap Yamaha 2 stroke 100cc. Was told oil pump was not working so it came with a full tank of premixed gas. Took it out today for a ride on the track and it cut out on me, wouldn't idle and filter was dirty as heck. So I pulled carby off and noticed a lot of oil, cleaned carby up and drained the tank. I immediately noticed how black the fuel was. Like it looked like oil with a tiny bit of gas in it.


I pulled tank off and have washed it all out, was a whole lot of crap inside. Like twigs and crap.

So what would the best thing be to do next? I'll be filling it up with fresh gas. And checking oil pump myself.

fresh fuel and oil mix.

Clean plug (hopefully no twigs some out)

Fire it up.
