hard time starting (another)

[chevymuddman]

alright guys so i was riding on the trail with my boy just ptting around and the blasty bogs out. itll start up on ocasion and when it does i cant touch the throttle without it wanting to die. I changed the plug, got gas, reeds are fine,tors is gone. i checked for spark and it dont look like im gettin anything. i dont have an ohlms meter to check anything but if you guys got any ideas id be happy to hear em. Ill do wat i can to answer your questions. thanks

#1 get a multimeter and do the proper tests, its a good thing to have in your toolbox

#2 do the proper tests, don't just throw parts at it

#3 did i mention get the right tools to do proper diagnostics and not just throw parts at it?

 

[acezeesawtooth]

how olds the spark plug may just be time for a new one

 

[chevymuddman]

i just put a new one in it after it happened, and it is the same. brandoz i wish i had one man. im not gonna throw parts at it unless its gonna make it faster.lol but ill try to get ahold of one

 

[brandoz28]

they're cheap, like 15 bucks at a wal-mart near you.



it'll save you loads of time/frustration to do some actual diagnostic/problem solving rather than just waiting for an answer from the other end of cyberspace lol

 

[chevymuddman]

i didnt kno they were that cheap. alright thanks. it stinks waitin but you guys usually have an answer pretty quick. i hate askin for help but wat do ya do when no one else round ya is mecanically inclined.lol

 

[acezeesawtooth]

15 i bought one for like 5 are a car auto parts store... you dont have to get some fancy digital one... analog ones are super cheap and work just as well

[chevymuddman]

ok will do i just wasted a post

This sounds like a classic case of a coil going bad. Check the orange wire that connects to the coil make sure it tight and not corroded. Then grab a mutimeter and start here-

 

[chevymuddman]

[slickerthanyou]

No problem Bro, I wish you were a little closer I'd fly by and give ya a hand, BTW- how far from kennywood (Time wise) would you say you are?

 

[chevymuddman]

[slickerthanyou]

Oh sh*t, that is right over the mountain! 45 minutes isn't far, If ya don't have the cash for the meter, LMK I will have no problem making a short trip this weekend maybe we can do a ride at your place?

[slickerthanyou]

I wouldnt jump to conclusions and say thats the answer to your prob without really knowing. Theres alot of things that can cause this. IMO without other information it sounds like cracked or broken reeds.
