It’s been awhile since I’ve tinkered with a fl250, but I do have two immediate thoughts.
1. Do you still have the original exhaust pipe? If so try it with the original pipe to eliminate that as a variable. Most likely that has nothing to do with your problem, but 2stroke exhaust design is critical to the
Engine running properly, maybe your aftermarket one isn’t quite right.
2. Something is wrong with the ignition. I never had a
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) model, but I believe there is some adjustment, if the timing is off it would still spark, but at the wrong time and it won’t run correctly. You need a manual with the specifics of how to adjust the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) for proper timing.
These are just two ideas, I could be completely off base, but if you have spark, compression (make sure it is at the proper level compression per the manual) and fuel it’s probably a timing issue. Lastly, what happens if you give it a shot of starter fluid. Does it start then? If yes, then timing probably isn’t the problem. Let us know what happens and we might be able to give you some more better advise.
Good luck!
Thank you for the help! I tried using the old one but it was rusted completely from being left outside for so long. The dg one is supposed to be specific for the FL250 so I hope it’s not the issue!
I was curious if the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) would be the issue but I didn’t know there was an adjustment that you could make to it, I’ll definitely have to give that a try and see if that makes a difference! I have tried starter fluid and all it doesn’t is create a backfire from the carb or it’ll shoot out the air intake.
I will try checking the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) and get back to you on the progress this weekend or early next week. Hopefully I bring back some good news lol, thank you!
