Hi there.

I have a 257 cc Linhai on a JCL 260. I replaced my vacuum fuel pump with an electric one since it was running short on fuel at high speeds with low vacuum. It appeared to run good. I took it for a test ride for 80 miles during which it ran great until it died. It won't start or fire after this.

I am trying to get it going again. I can hear my electric fuel pump running. Fuel drains out the drain for the carb bowl when I open it. When I take the spark plug wire off then hook it to a different spark plug that is grounded I get spark when I turn the engine over.

I'd appreciate any help I can get to make it fire and start. Any ideas where to go from here?

Thanks for your help.
