Hi guys!
My old (unknown year model) 100 cc 4 stroke Adly won't electric start but does so if towed or pushed.
It has semi-auto transmission.
When I swing it over, there is good spark, fuel smell at exhaust tail but is totally dead. Not even a hint of firing.
Only manual (kick) starts once motor is wamed up.
When we tow it, she fires up no sweat, hot or cold.
Idle is smooth and pulls well thru all the gears as if there was no problem.
I'll do a compression test tomorrow. Maybe pull the head & sleeve off to check rings and valves too.
Anyone with similar experience on other brands?
What was the problem & solution?
Thanks!
Benjamin.

yeah compresion test might show something interesting
could be tired . and the starter motor doesent give it the cranking speed needed to fire off the cold and sloppy hole.
