I have a VIP-2, and I can usually start it within a few "standing" start. However the situation now is getting intorable. It fails to start 80%, and when it starts, another 10% will idle.
Any advice please. Its essentially the bike to start is 5 % our of 100 trial.
Clean carb, points and possibly replace crank seals. Have you checked compression? Change spark plug? Clean out exhaust?
focus on the crank seal behind the stator plate.
This is like shooting at a fighter jet with a BB gun Without more info or the ability to examine in person , there can be a thousand reasons why hard to start. You will get as many responses. What you need to do is check the most likely culprits first in a basic exam. Fuel flow, spark, compression in that order.
