the other day in a trade i got a tao tao 107. the carb is junk when i got it (missing the top cap and cable) i found in my parts bins i found a throttle cable and thumb throttle from a 3 wheeler and rigged up a cap to do some testing. it fired up kinda for a bit but ran like crap (no biggy. just get a new carb) then went to show it to the better half as you do and nothing.... it cranks and cranks but will not fire. now this thing isnt in the best of shape parts are missing (all the bolts that hold the plastic body on) all the brake switches are bypassed (dont mind i planned to do it myself anyway) seats missing. but again hey i got a great deal. so when it wouldnt start i started to go thru the basics. pulled the carb and gave it a really good cleaning even tho i plan to replace it. tested the compression(150psi), has spark. but just will not start. not even on start spray.
any suggestions?
