Got tired of chasing my daughter while she was riding the Z50. (I still intend to keep it and to "push her" in the direction of 2 wheels as she gets older.
However, found a pretty good deal on an 01 LT80 and bought it for her. The seller said it was hard to start when cold. Boy is it. After much effort, I got it to start three different times and I even rode it up and down the strip mine road about 300 yards, but then it quit.
Initially I thought it was carb related, but we pulled the plug (which looks new and doesn't look rich) and checked the spark. Spark was VERY weak and inconsistent.
So what am I looking for to repair this? The only two things I know of are the plug wire and the ignition coil.
Any help would be appreciated - she didn't even get to ride it today because of the problems.
