Do you have fuel?... Do you have spark?...

[jr315rn]

plug is wet, spark is good

[Thorpe]

Starting with the wet plug, not good. When was the last time it ran? Air filter clean? (no rats nest in the airbox) Carb need to be cleaned?

[mcelroy4life]

you need three things to make an engine run: Fuel/spark/air. pull the plug and replace or you can try to just let it dry out. with the plug out turn the engine over a time or two. check air filter. put in new plug and start it up.

[mullet]

You say it has spark, but is it sparking at the right time? If you've monkeyed around with your pulse generator at all, maybe you put it back in 180* out of time. Its also possible that your timing chain skipped a couple teeth and its too far off time to run now. Get a manual and read how to check the timing. Hope you get it figured out!

[atc007]

Put a new spark plug in it. Make sure it's the right one they are shortys,not long. If you haven't ran it for awhile,lay it on it's side. this puts some fresh fuel into the carb,while the old is flushed out the overflows. Fresh fuel,NEW spark plug,it will prolly sit there purring.

[Taiser]

Bad air filter (clogged), bad plug (might spark but not under compression), bad timing (unlikely), gummed up carb, old crappy fuel. Start with the easiest, new fuel, new plug, clean the filter. Dump the old gas, put in fresh fuel. If that don't get it going, get a compression test done, then you're into the electrical, might be a weak spark etc.

it was running great now it doesnt run at all?

jr,
80 percent of all problems I have when I pick up an old basket case is the Carb. Another thing to take in consideration, do not overkill your pull cord as your pulling it many times it might rip. nice & easy.

jr,
Stick it to the man! You can do it!

[jr315rn]

what do u think i should start with , gas is pouring from my carb , one of the intake bolts is stripped , i just need some help wit this

[Thorpe]

Take the carb apart. If gas is pouring from it, sounds like the needle is stuck...

[jr315rn]

i have cleaned it twice still same deal

[mullet]

If you've cleaned it twice and its still pouring gas, either your float isn't floating, the rubber tip on your needle is junk, or the seat is dirty and needs to be cleaned.

Also, is the intake bolt on your cylinder stripped? Or the intake stud on your carb? If its the intake stud on your carb, just put a longer bolt through it with a nut on the other end. If the cylinder is stripped then you will need a tap to re-thread it to a larger size.

[jr315rn]

is there a parts break down of the carb? if so where can i get one?

[JayBone]

Uuummm taint no gas in it!. Huumm uumm.

(Slingblade)

[jr315rn]

? there is?

[Thorpe]

Did you read the manual, like instructed to do so, in earlier posts?

[carsurgin]

Everyone has to start somewhere. I have a big red. I had a bunch of issues too. But just keep at her, ask for help when you need it and READ READ READ!!! Videos are nice too but hard to find.
Start with the easy things first. Change plug, clean air filter, fresh gas. Try to spray some Quick Start into carb, then give it a go. But I agree with above guy. If fuel is pouring out then its a good chance its your float. Open it up and make sure the float spring is not damaged, or placed improperly.

i have owners manual im changed plug and used starting fluid to

Cleaning your carb really isn't all that difficult. There is tons and tons of advice and some really good guides to doing it on this site if you look for them. Learn how to used the "advanced search" feature. Search something along the lines of "carb cleaning" under titles only. I've linked to a few articles I just found by running that search. It may seem intimidating if you haven't done it before, but it is pretty simple, and there are not a whole lot of parts in a 110 carb. You can do it! Let us know how it goes.

I hear Sea Foam works wonders. Spray the entire engine/carb.

[jr315rn]

i will try this sea foam see what happens i guess

[Thorpe]

Sea foam isnt going to fix a "hard" problem... Sea foam fixes rough idle, and slightly dirty carbs... Have you read the troubleshooting section of the manual yet?

[jr315rn]

in my owners manual there is no troble shooting section,
