Purchased a used 2015 Super 8 50cc four stroke a couple of weeks ago. The owner told me it had been sitting for a while and that it would not start. First thing I did was take off the carburetor and the jets were pretty bad so I decided to get a brand new carb and installed it. Empied the gas tank, blew out the fuel lines and put in non ethanol fuel. Also installed a new NGK spark plug. I am getting spark, fuel is flowing into the carburetor, it is getting air, but it just turns over with zero signs of wanting to fire up. I tried spaying starter fluid in the carb and it did nothing. I took the spark plug out and stuck my finger in the spark plug hole while starting and I am getting compression. If the CDI is bad, will this cause it NOT to fire up??
Any ideas where to go next will be greatly appreciated! I am stumped.
