Hey y'all
I bought a lil 1985 Honda ATC110 from a dude about 4 hrs ago. Overall, its a pretty clean bike. The gas tank is rough but that's fixable. My main issue is that I can't get it to run. I'm a total noob with these things. This is the first time I've even seen one in person, much less stepped on this forum. It REALLY tries to run, but it just won't. The carb is cleaned but I don't really know the plumbing situation b/c I don't have the tank on it right now. It has a really good blue spark, but doesn't run when you dump gas down the intake. It pops, farts, smokes, you name it but it won't actually fire up. It would have helped if I hadn't been turning it over backwards with a drill half the night, but it really doesn't do much more spinning it the correct way. As I said, it really tries, and the plug is wet and (to my knowledge) sparks. It doesn't really have the best compression but I think it might be passable. Also, would a chinese 110 carb work on this? It would eliminate the somewhat sketchy, leaking petcock.
Thanks for the wisdom
