Hi
I bought my son a used 2004 PW50 . I'm having problems. It starts on the first or second kick no problem there. There's no power i have to push my son on it to get it moving. Some times when it gets warmed up the spark plug wire will smoke. when the motor gets hot it seems to just stop running but it will start back up. But no power at all. Please help. Starting to get frustrates.

Sounds like you need to tighting up the spark plug... if that don't also help power check your filter make sure it's clean, and carbs clean. Then we will go from there

Then you need to go to the stator and flywheel and do some checkin make sure it's getting enough spark (if spark plug is new and the right one haha)

Most likely your carb. Check to make sure everything is clean.
Fresh plugs can make a huge difference.
I am currently having the same problem, but I think it is float height, because when I turn off the petcok to the tank, it leans out, and gains tons of power.

another place to check is make sure there's not a lot of carbon build up in the head of the pipe. pull off the pipe and look inside. use various tools to clear it out.
new top end?

Starting to get frustrates.  Thought of everything, and thought i'd tried everything.  Played about with the auto lube cable adjuster today and adjusted the air screw & pilot screw sorted, thank god for that. Hope this help some. Seems to be a regular accurance this according to on the forum sites.  |
