I just put a brand new carb on the bike cause the previous owner told me that was the problem, but now that it is installed I don't seem to get any fuel to the spark plug. And I'm new to scooting so I don't know where or how to find the problem. Someone please help me so I don't have a giant yard ornament

[crwford]

some have a fuel shut out coming out of tank is it out or my may have a vacuum shut off which means engine need to crank to get vacuum to open it if you do you have hose hook up to right side to put vacuum ?

[cyborg]

That happens quite often ,,,carb dry ,,,pull the vacuum line off the intake manifold and get some suction on it to get ga into the carb,,,should lite right up after that

[eagles81]

It does have a vac line on right side of intake also carb is getting fuel in bowl for sure just not making it past there to the plug

[fflintstone]

Just a thought --did the previous owner mention it may need a fuel pump ? just saying

[cyborg]

Pull the spark plug put a teaspoon of fuel into the plug hole put the plug back in and turn it over to see if it will lite up

[eagles81]

It pumps fuel through lines when you push the start button but ill try putting some in the spark plug hole and see from there thanks

[eagles81]

if I put fuel in the spark plug hole it kicks for a second but dosen't stay running

[eagles81]

I'm getting a reading of 8.9 ohms at the auto enricher is that correct resistance or is that bad

[cyborg]

So it fires when you introduce fuel into the cylinder so it's a fuel problem,,, there's acdrain on the bottom of the carb bowl,, open it up to see if there's fuel in the carb,,, if there is then I'd say a good carb cleaning is in order

[eagles81]

There is fuel in the bowl it just dosent get to the cylinder it's a new carb but maybe it for trash in it I'm going to try and clean it and see what happens

[cyborg]

THat was going to be my next thing to say,,,pull the carb and take off the bowl,,check and clean all the jets thoroughly ,,,this has to be the problem,,,be very careful of the bowl screws,,use a clean sharp screwdriver,,,it seems the Chinese have figured out a way to make screws out of butter

[eagles81]

Yea I already screwed up one screw on the carb got it all cleaned out the best I could and still nothing so far I'm almost to the point of selling it

[eagles81]

Ordered a new carb got tired of fighting with other one hope this does the trick

[cyborg]

The screws on those things are so tight,and made of such soft material I'm surprised the maker doesn't snap the heads off putting them together,,,,before you put the new one on drill a small hole in the metal cap covering the air/fuel mixture screw ,,,turn it all the way in and then back it out 2-1/2 turns
