Thanks to all that the time to respond....your help is deeply appreciated.
My engine for a long time would die if I let off the accelerator. I know it just tightens the belt to make it go. Anyway, I lived with it for a while and then it started to sputter and try its best to die while riding so I replaced the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Upon tearing the thing apart I noticed a 1/2" diameter thin rubber hoes coming from the carburetor to the engine. This hose had separated at the seams in a few places, so I fixed that. It ran much better but died as always when I let off the accelerator. So I thought there might be a block in a jet in the carb, went through the carb and assembled everything. Now it will not start, not even an inkling of an almost start. The spark plug is sparking and all wires are hooked as they should be, also the only fuse I know of is good......
Any, I mean any ideas as to why it will not start please say so. It does have gas and that gas is good and getting to the right places. Can't really afford to have a mechanic fix this....I use this thing as my wheelchair on my property. Really need the stupid thing to run...
Please help!!
