I originally purchased the second qt50 for parts, but I still plan on getting it running and when I need parts...
The person i bought it from said that it just kept getting slower and stopped running... what that means to me, the carb and exhaust need cleaning. So it turns out the engine was completely flooded. The engine was turning over but there was to much back pressure. This was due to the fact that the exhaust was full of gas. I pulled off the exhaust and drained it but it still needs to be cleaned. I'm planning on cleaning out the carb tomorrow... pictures to come
Currently, the seat needs to be reupholstered, carb needs to be cleaned, the exhaust pipe needs to be cleaned, petcock needs a new gasket, some rust treatment, new ignition,new spark plug, and more problems I'm sure as I get into it.
