She ran two weeks ago I tried to start her up, won't start. Getting fuel, the plug looks good to me anyway. I probably should replace it. How should I adjust the screw on the carb? It's currently a half turn out. After that I'm stumped.
Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
Re: Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
taillight has to work, like a safety switch. Wiring or bulb, I thinks its wiring. WIKI section has your wiring diagram.
Re: Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
is the plug wet or dry?

It's funny you mention the taillight. Whenever I applied the brake lever the engine would cut out. I removed the bulb and pull the lever engine stays running. I've been running it with the bulb out. It's been starting and running well. It just now all of a sudden won't start. I need to check the wiring and add a /run/kill switch. I've been using the choke lever near the throttle grip to kill the engine.

The plug is wet. I put a new plug in and still won't start. Acts like it wants to start though. I pulled the air filter, it's oily and dirty. I'm going to get a new one and clean up that carb. I did notice gas on the floor that has leaked from the carb since it last ran. I'll have to give it a good cleaning. New plug ,air filter and clean carb. Hopefully she'll run after that.
Re: Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
Do you have spark? Do you have a magneto puller yet?
If the light it killing the bike....disconnect (let go of the brake) . Unplug those wires for a min
Re: Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
I got no spark. Does this just happen. It ran three weeks ago.
Re: Columbia commuter Sachs won't run.
for the 2nd time its your wiring. Some wires are wrong or grounded out.
