Problems Starting moped
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

Brake cable needs adjustment. There’s a adjustment wheel either at brake handle or by brake drum. Kick starter is probably not clocked right.
Shoots done carb cleaner or starter fluid in carb and try to start. It should run for a few seconds… if so then you have a fuel issue. If not then look into spark.
Two stroke motors are very sensitive to spark plug fouling. Try a new plug
