Got Spark? Good Fuel? Clean Air Filter?

When I take spark plug out it acts like it wants to start

 

[08zzr600]

when you pull the plug out? new plug? old plug? start with replacing the plug if not new.

The coil gap to flywheel should be set using a regular business card. The spark plug. Get a NGK CMR7H. Local parts store sell them. Advanced Auto near me has them. If they don't have the NGK don't let them talk you into any other brand. The NGK is your best choice.

Try this: #1: Close the High and Low speed needles right down, by turning them each, clockwise; then resetting them to factory setting: 1 and 1/2 out on the High Speed Needle, and 1 and 1/4 out on the Low Speed Needle. Then prime the bulb and try starting engine.

If it doesn't start, go to step #2: Take out spark plug, pull the starter cord vigorously to clear any gas from the combustion chamber, dry the spark plug's sparking tip by pressing it on cloth, replacing it, and try starting it again.

No. Any rc engine spark Plugs will work.

Ok thanks for the info, but found the problem, found I had no compression, and the ring was wore out, ordered new piston and ring, meantime had spare 30cc engine, now runs great, but will repair old engine as back up, thanks for the reply!!
