KUTOS to Silver_Fox

[tcarl]

I want to pay Silver_Fox a big thanks. I bought my son a 2002 50 lc jr. and had trouble starting it from the git-go. I researched the net, found this site, and read Silver_fox's suggestion about thinning the spark plug gap. I have to admit that I just "eye-balled" it and squeezed it down and sure nuf' the thing came to life with one kick. We haven't rode it hard yet since due to inclement weather, but this may have done it. You have to know that it usually takes me forever to get it going. Now my 6 yr old can kick start it without help. You're a life saver Silver_Fox. Thanks a bunch, and thanks to allthingsmoto for this site!!

That's great to hear. Good Job Silver_Fox!

And welcome to

You're most welcome. That must have been an old thread. Those little Euro bikes can be pretty tempermental but once you get them working right they do ok, just make sure you keep on the maintenance (which is minimal).

And welcome to the forum.
