Puch Newport with a ZA50, 70cc KStar, Proma Circuit, and 14mm Sha.

After a year of running perfectly, the moped all of a sudden stopped starting unless i turned it over super fast.

I replaced the carburetor and it kept doing the same thing. I put a new CDI on and timed it, keeps doing the same thing. Rebuilt the top end with new gaskets and torqued it to specs and the same thing. I've tried numerous jets and still the same results.

Getting blue spark, getting gas, plenty of compression...

It will only start if I pedal super fast while turning it over and will immediately die when i release the throttle.

Any suggestions?
