Good spark. sprayed starter fluid in carb nothing.took sparkplug out sprayed some in there put new spark plug in still nothing.compression seems good to me. I bought this used so I don't know history of it. Ran fine one day very next day went out to start it and it wouldn't start. Any help and all help would be appreciated

 

How did you measure the spark?

How did you measure the compression?

Spark, Fuel Compression. This is what you need. One (or more) must be missing...

 

i didnt measure the spark. took spark plug out and then turned the motor over and can see the spark is there a measureing tool i can buy for this.

compression i just stuck my finger in the hole and it seems to be strong to me but i do have a compression gage i can check that

 

Actually check the compression.....I did the finger method and found that once I put a guage on it my finger method let me down.

Im guessing the valves need adjusted.....

I have a Womat (newer version of the Meerkat) and oddly Ive had to put a valve in it already......after only about 2 hours of riding. Since then its been fine.....but that sucker was bent like a cheap penny.

 

watched you tube video on adjusting valves. ive never done it.looks fairly easy any hints before i tackle this.
my compression wont go as small as that spark plug hole.went to three different places today to get adapter with no luck. so i figured tommorrow id just try the valves and see what that does.

 

Welcome to the forum mpdp72!

I always adjust valves on a stone cold engine...(1 that hasnt been run in a few hours or more).. You want to adjust the valves at TDC.. A 4 stroke has 2 TDC's... you want the TDC just after the intake valves close..
