Hey Daniel,
I did clean the points and set them when I did the timing. The motor was working ok with the stock 49cc top end on it however I do recall it being more prone to having a fouled plug when I changed the trans oil- maybe from a leak? I am really hoping its not a case leak, that would suck. Is there a method you use to diagnose a case leak? just read on MA that you can hook up a pump to the intake and seal off the exhaust port and spray the case with soap and water while pressurizing the inside of the motor with the pump.
I just ordered a boss exhaust hoping and I am hoping that that would magically solve this horrible 4 stroking issue..... really hope I don't have to mess around with the case or seals etc.
