My sons Eton Rover has not been ran in 2 years and it would not start. Just recently I realized I accidentally left the fuel **** in the ON position and I think fuel might have clogged the jets. I have read online that you can take out the spark plug to check if its getting gas so I looked for it but could not find it. The manual doesn't tell you where it is, just what you should replace it with. Also whenever I try to start it there is sort of a scraping noise coming from the crank case. If somebody could tell me where the spark plug is that would be greatly appreciated. I will post a link to the Eton website so you can see what it looks like.

Bump. All i need to know is where the spark plug is because the manual does not show you where it is. Please help

 

on the cylinder. look under the gas tank for an air finned chunk of metal. that's the cylinder. you'll see a wire with a hardened rubber piece going into the top of the air fins (cylinder). hence, your spark plug. see it towards the right of the pic almost "hidden" in the fins? your spark plug will be in the general area. a little different than your lawn mower, but somewhat similiar. your carb and jets will need to be cleaned also. change the oil in the crankcase and look for metal shavings.

 

Thank you so much! I cleaned the jets and now it starts right up on the first try. I also replaced the spark plug which was fouled so that could of been the problem. Now I can finally ride

 

good to hear! have fun. glad you learned something here. i always do!
