Yes ? never hurt to check ? re gap the coil with a business card......make sure the magnet is right under the coil??

 

[Phill2]

If you've got a good spark the coil gap should be OK

Yeah I can see it spark trying to get some new fuel line but where we are can’t get no parts at the moment

 

[Phill2]

Search the web for Tygon 6mm (1/4") fuel line.
Colour doesn't matter.
I prefer two yellow ones so I can see the fuel going through.
It's a tight fit in the grommet but will never leak.

 

[a6lns]

Yeah going to get it back together in the next couple of days get some new 2 stroke oil and fuel Any recommendations on 2 stroke oil that you guys use would be appropriated

 

[DougStar]

I use Motul?? but any full synthetic oil will do??

 

[a6lns]

Cheers guys carb all put back together hope I am done it correctly

 

[Seandonato73]

Please not another oil thread ?‍ I use klotz super techniplate.

 

[Phill2]

Any dirt bike oil does me.

I use Castor and Motul but I don't really think it matters with the small amount of fuel used in these engines.We don't really use them much when you think about it.Lawnmowers and leaf blowers are another story.

[evssv]

Hi guys my fg is up and running I’m going to take in the park see how it goes at some stage I think I will re build it is it best to replace just the piston ring or the head etc or go up to a 29 cc

 

[Seandonato73]

Just depends on what you want to spend/ if anything is really wrong. The ring is a must, plus the piston bearing and thrust washers and pin clips. If the piston is good no reason to replace that. If the cylinder is good no reason not to port that, I mean no reason to replace that. But if you want the bigger cc then get a kit, it will have everything you need. (Or should at any rate)
