My mach 1 is getting my parents pretty pissed off at me... they want their garage to hold 2 cars and my sled is taking up half

. Anyway long story short, my dad is giving me a week to get it out of the garage before he gets it out of their by any means necessary... a bit extreme but that's him.

I've had a ton of rpms out of it before, enough to spin the track and move forward (this is all in the garage in the warm weather) but now something is screwed up... my "fuel pump?" post explains what was going on with it before. Now I finally got it to idle, at 1 turn with the air bleed screws. However for some reason it won't move or get good rpms when revved up. I ease into it, and open it all the way and everything sounds good, but it won't move for anything in the world.

I explained to my dad that it was probably because the weather is so warm right now that I don't have the power for a take off but he's not convinced. What do you think it could be?

Fouled plug.

Yup. Pull them, I'll bet one is all wet.

I don't think the weather would keep it from moving. I pulled 2 of mine on the trailer in 70 degree weather just fine.

Weirdest thing happened... I went out and kept starting it and giving it gas and after an hour the rpms just kicked in out of no where and it took off

. I moved it in no time... I couldn't get on the computer because of a damn virus but the problem solved itself I guess... what do you think happened?

Plug dried out and started firing.

Why would it be wet to start with? It was starting from the beginning, it just didn't have the power to move... it idled good too.

A wet plug does not fire correctly until it dries out, it may even fire intermittently.
A 2 stroke will start and run on one cyl, but will have no power until both cylinders are firing.
