Hey, I have a honda xl 100s 1983 model. I bought it used and not running a few months back for a good price.
So far I removed the left engine cover and discovered that the bolt on the flywheel was missing and also that the woodruff key had sheared apart. I replaced both.
At this point I was getting a good spark, but no fuel.
I then opened the carb. Sure enough, it was very gunky/gummy. Fixed.
Now there is a spark, the spark plug is wet with fuel, but nothing happens after I screw the plug in and try to start it. No firing at all.
Anyone have an idea on what the next step should be? I'm very much an amateur at mechanics, so if I missed something obvious, shout it out.
