Last I came hear my engine didnt start,now it starts but it won't stay on.Can anybody help me.
 
make sure the glow plug is in nice and tight, is the fly wheel easy to turn, if it is then the piston and sleeve is worn.

Mess with the needles a bit... tell me how it works... :cheers:
 
I think what he means is set the needles back to factory.

Now a question. Does it stay running when the glow ignitor is on, anc shut off as soon as the ignitor is off? If the answer is yes, change your glow plug.

Does it work as long as the wheelsare off the ground, but as soon as the wheels hit the ground i shuts off? How about when you let off the throttle, will it shut off then? If so its a clutch problem. Bearings, or springs.

Try to give some more info so we can try to pin point the problem a little better.
 
Careful using last years fuel...happened to me (in NW Indiana) the next spring when I tried to fire up something and was using some wildcat 20%. Wouldn't stay running no matter what. I ended up buying a buggy that somebody left some bluethunder 20% in and it fired right up. I then put the wildcat in and got nothing! I drained it...put in new fuel...and what do u know...back in business!
