Hi everyone, thanks for taking your time to look at this thread. I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but ive seen a few people asking so yeah. I have an atc 110 that ran a few years ago. it sat for a while and wasnt started, and the carb was FULL of gunk, so that was the first thing i worked on. when i put it back together, the throttle was stuck, and it took off in 3rd gear and almost ran my brother over:lol:. so, i couldnt get it to start for a while after that, but i was pulling it around with my quad to try to bump start after putting a new plug in and it ran for maybe 5 mins max. and since then, i havent been able to get it to start. ive tried bump starting again as i lost the bolts for the pull starter... but it just wont fire. the plug is black (not sure what that means) and i know its getting fuel because it was a little bit wet. also as of right now, it has no air filter because the rubber boot that goes from the carb to the airbox is missing, and i know its getting spark, because i checked by arcing it with a screwdriver to the engine case, nice bright blue spark. just trying to add as many details as possible. Any suggestions on what i should try next? it has ran before about 2 weeks ago, so i dont know why it wont even try now. im going to check the valve clearances, even though im sure this has nothing to do with it.


any help would be appreciated.
