Ok, I tried to start the TRI-Z about a month ago, but couldn't get it going. I poured some gas down into the cylinder which will usually do the trick, but it didn't start. I checked for fire and compression and both were fine. Then this past Saturday I decided to try again. I pulled the plug and sprayed some starter fluid onto the plug and then a little into the cylinder. I kicked it twice and it started up and I let it run for about 5 to 10 minutes and then shut it down because it was almost 10 pm. Monday after work I decide that I am going to take a little ride. Take it out and it won't start. I tried the exact same thing that had it started on Saturday and NOTHING. It didn't even try to start. I pulled the carb feed line off of the carb to see if it was getting gas and it was just little drops coming out. Is there some sort of trick to getting these things to where they will start everytime without having to do all of this BS. What can I do to get it started as of now?? It just doesn't seem like that little trickle of fuel would be enough. I checked the hoses and none of them are blocked. Maybe the fuel pump?? Please help. Thanks

 

Did you do a compression test...or just use the thumb over the hole test? Id say the compression is a bit low, and if it is, check the valve clearance first.
