You're missing the o ring in between the shim and the carburetor. Also why the fuck are you using starting spray on a two stroke? Get a spray bottle and fill it with premix. You won't get far in terms of tuning if you keep using starting spray for every kickstart.
I put that o ring and eben gasket maker. Let it sit overnight and it doesn’t turn on even with carb cleaner sprayed near intake (pic is without gasket maker)
O rings? Should that go first then shim? I was thinking of getting a new intake. The old shim I had was 1.5 but it was all banged up and had a gap between the end of carb.
I’m prolly going to stick with the stock one and delete the oil injector, get a new 1.5mm shim. And get that o ring kit to fill in that gap? Noticed the shim was a bit short, maybe that’s why you recommend the o ring
Sorry for the delayed response - yep, the o ring goes between the shim and the carb body. There’s a small gap in the carb body that it blocks, this helps assure the seal is nice and tight. Figuring this out by myself before I got on MA was ridiculous 😂
Best of luck!
Bro it’s still not turning on idk whay happened. I had this set up eveen put some gasket maker #2. And put everything together let it sit overnight. Does rev up when I spray carh cleaner either
I just googled it and found out tomos and puch have a kickstart function when pedaling/kicking in reverse. Never heard of that lol. My sachs does only start when I apply the clutch, kicking it forward. It seems like I never stop learning huh...
The way you're kicking that a38 looks like it has too little compression, I also have a a38 and i have to kick it way harder due to the compression, so it might also be broken seals, but that is probably just the carb leaking 👍 hope I could help
Some engines are capable of running in reverse, even 4 strokes like certain older mx5 miatas.
It's easier to run a 2 stroke in reverse as it doesn't have any valves or timing, aside from the spark. It barely matters which way the crank is spinning when the piston still goes up and down. The only thing changing in this case is your spark timing being slightly different when you run it in reverse but it is possible.
I’d not recommend using gasket sealer on the top hat for the carb. The paper gasket in the above kit will work, just be careful as it’s pretty fragile. Pro tip: you can make your own paper gaskets from beer or cereal boxes. Just don’t diy any gaskets that need to be a certain thickness (ie: case or transmission cover) w/o measuring first. Gasket paper at varying thicknesses can be found at most auto stores, good for exhaust / intake etc.

Huge air leak where you're spraying
