Hey everyone, I'm new here and I need some advice. I'm familiar with working larger engines, like cars and trucks but am fairly new to smaller ones. This is my first Blaster:
Backstory: found a bike on FB market place advertised for $1000, when I got to the guys house the bike wouldn't start when it was advertised as running. Told them I could give them $200, much too my amazement, they let it go. We did get it too backfire on the first kick but after that it wouldn't do anything.
Got home with my brother started fiddling with it but have been unsuccessful
1. The bike has spark only when the key is in the OFF position not in the ON
2. Drained fuel, put new in. Carb is seeing plenty of fuel
3. When its kicked it sounds extremely flat, like it doing nothing
4. Pulled the Spark Plug and put a new one in
We tried pulling it with my TRX500 and popping the clutch, nothing. The light does come on when its being pulled but it wont run on its own
I also noticed that there is quite a bit of fuel coming out of the rubber lines on the sides/bottom of the carb. Not sure if this is normal or not
Any ideas? No idea where to look next
Dumb question... Is this a 4 or 2 stroke? I know nothing about it
Thanks everyone
