Hello all, got this minibike last year for my daughter and she rode it all summer no problems. Started right up every time. Put it away for winter with a tiny bit of gas left in bottom of tank. Less than a 1/2 inch.
Yesterday I decided to bring out the bike so she can ride it and decided first to change the oil. I changed the oil and boy did it need changed the oil that came out was jet black.
I filled it with new oil to the top and filled the gas tank to the top with fresh gas.
Pull the cord nothing. Tried the choke nothing.
Pulled plug set it on head pull cord and I have spark.
Poured small amount of gas in cylinder put plug back on pulled cord started up idled for a minute then died. Im assuming it was running on the gas i put in cylinder and when that was gone it died.
So I put more gas in cylinder (this time a bit more) and I noticed some gas dripping out towards the rear of the bike under the seat.
Pulled the cord it ran again for a minute. While it was running I tried the throttle got nothing. It just idled until the cylinder had no gas left. The throttle had no effect on the idle
Drained half the gas out of the tank added some sea foam additive and let it sit overnight. Also gave a squirt into cylinder.
Woke up this morning same thing...idles until gas in cylinder is gone.
Im assuming bc there is spark and it does run when gas gets into cylinder its a fuel delivery problem. Im stumped as it ran like a champ last year.
Im not to smart when it comes to small engines so bare with me please.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you to anyone who helps us...my daughter is pacing the floor wanting to ride
