The sequence of no engine turn over then the long turn over with no ignition is similar to my experience with a 2006 People 150 with 9000 km:
1) often after over night, engine will not turn over with starter NOR with the kick starter (even with all my weight on kick starter)
2) eventually after jogging E-starter and K-starter engine will turn over BUT needs 1/3 throttle kept open to come to life
Local shop replaced battery and cleaned carb but didn't fix problem and shop is out of ideas to fix. Claim ethenal is problem though I've been running the gas additive they recommend (now Mystery Oil).
Any idea? What once was a great, easy ride is now a tiresome, rustrating experience.
December 26, 2011 - GOT IT SOLVED. THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE WAS LEAKING GAS INTO THE ENGINE; THUS, HARD START (FLOODED) AND LOCKED KICK STARTER (CYLINDER LOCK). THIS WAS, FINALLY, AN EASY AND CHEAP FIX ($53 FOR NEW VALVE).
