yes i drained the carb. even let it fill with gas and drained it again - just because i know how. i've played around with the spark plug, tried putting in a new one too. did the spark plug test and it lit up on the old one but not the new one so i put the old one back in. probably the gap on the new one? it was just a little spark but i don't know how big the spark should be. just waiting for the full charge light to come on, taking forever.
i am in tampa. never even heard of crawfordville! will look it up. oh i see you're near tallahassee. i'm going up to FSU tomorrow. too bad i can't haul my bike up there an you could FIX IT!!!
