Hi peeps!
OK here is the deal. I'm no mechanic at all so any help would be appreciated :)
I picked up a botormotorsports Mini Baja bike but it will not start.
http://www.bajamotorsports.net/Mini/miniBaja.htm
It has a Hensim hs168f-2 engine 6.5hp. It will not start at all, it has a pull start and every couple of pulls it just gives a loud bang and does nothing.
There is plenty of gas and new oil. I used 15w-40 oil as specified in the book, although it said deisel on the container the back label says its fine for 4 cycle gas engines with service catagory SL or SJ.
It had been working fine but it did fall over on an unlevel driveway and bent the brake lever. I do not see how this would make the motor not work though.
I do believe my neighbor may have been playing with the idle screw just prior to this. Could the idle screw make it not start? and if so how do I know exactly how it should be adjusted.
Just asking before I take it in for service and spend more $$ as it is only a couple of weeks old and if there is a simple fix :)
THanks !!!!!!
