After doing a search here I kept seeing threads on people leaving their moped out in the rain, mine lives in a garage. So Im here to be that guy. So my ‘94 A35 ran perfectly fine, no issues then all of the sudden I think I felt a quick studder( no sound) and she began to bog down. I swap the spark plug thinking it might be fouled but that’s not the case. Is there any “oh shit, *blank* fucks up all the time! Do this!” option before I start a complete check every tiny thing in a couple days when I can get to it? And yeah I know blah blah it’s a Tomos they never have spark haha blah blah
Tomos no spark blues
Re: Tomos no spark blues
Ran out of gas? Petcock screen or banjo filter clogged? Clogged main jet in carb?
Re: Tomos no spark blues
Definitely got fuel
Re: Tomos no spark blues
Got spark? Ground the plug to the head and turn it over.
Re: Tomos no spark blues
It sounds as though you ate a ring take the spark plug out take a pencil with a new eraser see if you can wiggle the piston if it goes side to side or up and down chances are you lost a ring then you have to take off the head and everything else but if you have spark and it ain't starting and it doesn't have compression it's a ring hopefully it didn't destroy the cylinder
Re: Tomos no spark blues
so this is an easy way to see if there is adequate spark and it's cheap and at near any auto parts store. While u are at it buy a compression tester for $15 bucks. If u r going to own a moped it's time to own a few diagnostic items. Aside from running out of gas there are all sorts of reasons why gas isn't getting into the cylinder.
