Hello,
First post...
I have a Baja Racer 97cc mini bike just a year or so old. My friend who owns it said it ran good for a while and it just seemed to get weaker and weaker until it just wouldn't start any more.
He brought it to me and I found the carb loaded with carbon, a weak spark, compression for that small engine was marginal. Pulled it apart to look at the valves. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Lapped the valves and put it back together.
I oredred a new ignition coil and installed it...even pulled the kill switch wire, still waek to no spark. What gives? Tried other spark plugs, still the same.
Anyone out there have this same problem with this engine?
One other thing, can't seem to find any info on this engine or any internal parts on the internet. Yes there are many external parts I have found...
Buying another engine is not an option...this just ain't rocket science !
Any assistance would be appreciated.
