Baby 2-Stroke question

[Qkchk:Me]

New plug, clean air filter, thrash.

If you want to get carried away pull the carb & blow through the pilot jet, it may be blocked.

Already cleaned out the idle jet in the carb.

it needs a 950cc injection

seriously though. plug and lead would be my next guess - at least take out the plug and check it out. oh - reading this you plan to do that. guessing weak spark is holding it back.

Ok, finally found the time (and the inititive) to change the plug on the scoot. Hmmm, why has the whole spark lead come off in my hand when it's a screw-in style........... ok, me thinks me found da problem.

Bike is idling now (farken finally) so it was either 1 or a combination of these:

- New Spark Plug
The old one looked ok, wasnt badly fouled nor had the electrode showed signs of wear...... it looked fine but I replaced it with a new one while I was there.

- New Exhaust Gasket Ring
While I was 'down there' might as well do this. Wasnt even sure if it had one but it did and it looks a bit tired.

- Spark Lead
Came off in my hand when it's a screw in type. Cut off the end and re-did it. Nice en tight now.


Conclusion:

Weak Spark from either the plug or bad connection from the lead or both. Thanks to all who replied and pointed me in the right direction. Now I will have a better idea where to start looking next time instead of stripping my carb :slap:
