Just rebuilt a series 3 125 and now it wont start, was running previously. Has got got fuel with 3% mix, timing set to 19 degrees, checked piston is in the correct way this morning, am getting a healthy spark when plug is held on engine casing, if I take the air filter off and cover the carb with my hand when I kick over its wet with fuel.
Any suggestions

had many similar problems myself - the one that took me the longest to figure out was a blocked exhaust.
if plug is wet and spark looks good - maybe worth checking.

could be excess oil in cylinder after rebuild. try warming the plug up (nice and hot) before startingPiatti wrote:Mickey C wrote:had many similar problems myself - the one that took me the longest to figure out was a blocked exhaust.

Heated up plug and tried kicking over but still not starting...
gap the plug or change it ...i have known plugs to spark ok out of the head but not work under compression
