I'm in need of expert Z50 advise. I have an older Z50 (1984, although motor is apparently a 70s vintage). It's totally stock. I put new rings and gaskets in it last year. The problem is I can't get it to stop fouling plugs! It will run fine for a few days, then start breaking down and finally won't start. Put a fresh plug in, or even a carefully cleaned one, and she runs first kick.
It's frustrating as I use it to take my young son for rides, but the lack of consistant starting is a problem that he simply doesn't understand and leads to great disappointment if I don't have a fresh plug handy.
It seems to carburate decently when running I suppose, has lots of compression and doesn't burn oil. Could it be a weak coil? Any suggestions?
