Giving the Engine Gas After Kick Start Kills It
« on: August 25, 2011, 03:01:16 PM »
My electric starter is broken but it has been kick starting fine. However, yesterday while riding the engine died. I could restart it using the kick starter, but everytime I gave it gas it died immediatley. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Chris

It could be a lot of things - but I would first suspect the auto enricher.  When the engine is cold can yo give it more gas without it dieing?
