-
I just bought a used pit bike and it was running then it shut off on me. When I kick it I get a spark and I just cleaned the carb (jets n' all) and air filter so its none of those. Also the pipe gets hot but the bike doesnt start. And another thing is when I kick it gas shoots out of the carburetor drain hose.
The bike was ruinning and now its not, any advice? Thanks in advance. -
check the valve lash. i think the back pressure leaking back out the intake could pressurize the carb bowl and push fuel out maybe.*********************
