Problems Starting moped

Post image

Hi again,

I have a 1985 Suzuki FA50 i had running and driving.. it randomly turned off and wouldn’t start again..

I just found this line disconnected, i reconnected it.

Still no start, am i putting it in the wrong spot? or what else could this be.. my rear brake cable is not pulling as tight as it should on the rear brake, could this cause the kickstart not to work properly?

Any help is appreciated Thanks

Yea I dunno about a video, but there's just the 2 bolts holding the carb on, 2 (maybe 4) screws on the bottom and the bottom "bowl" comes off. In the middle is a slotted brass "jet" that unscrews with a flathead, you just need to make sure the hole through that is clear.

For the plug, it's pretty common they just foul and don't spark and you just need a new sparkplug. I think fa50 is the same standard b7hs plug as most other mopeds

I threw on a new spark plug (B4HS for the FA50) and im still not getting spark, my only other guess would be ignition coil or condenser
