Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
Great idea, I'll try it. How much spark is good enough? The spark i'm seeing as of now, is blue, but not as strong as one would think. Btw, I took muffler off and still won't fire... so it's not a blockage. I either think its cdi or fuel isn't getting picked up from bowl. I'll start with this spark test

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
I believe i found the problem.
Checked ohms on plug wire. With cap screwed on I got a 9.74 reading. 8.0-8.5 is the range. Then I checked with cap screwed off. Reading is at the correct range. 4.29 (slightly over).
I screwed cap back on & cant get a reading at all. Looks like problem lies within the plug cap that scews in the wire.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
I'm out of ideas, don't want to drop off at a service shop. Put plug & wire back in. Still has spark. Just not sure if its enough. 40+cc's of premix went in spark hole & didn't fire.

Reeds look great
Tried exhaust on & off
No carbon buildup
Tried a couple drops first, no sputter at all
Checked spark

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
Carb set to the factory settings
Should still sputter regardless though, bypassing with a few cylinder drops

Yes, plug does get wet
I clean it up, or put in a new one & gets wet again

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
Crank it a bunch and see if it will clear out the built up fuel and as the guys said let it sit and see if it will dry out. You may have a bunch of fuel or moisture in the bottom of the crankcase that keeps soaking the plug. Just a thoughtPorterGuy85 wrote:Yes, plug does get wet
