I've got a 7-month old Peace TPGS-27 (QMB139, 4T 50cc) with about 650 miles on it. I've had a host of minor problems with it (headlights didn't work, battery went bad, air filter box snapped off, valves too tight, etc) but i've hit my first big breakdown.
On the way to work, the engine just shut off (there may have been a noise when it happened, but not sure with all the traffic), while the throttle was wide open. I pulled off to the side and checked the kill switch and key position, everything looked ok. Using the electric starter, the engine turns over, but will no start. Here's what i've done so far:
Checked all lines for obstruction (none found)
Disassembled carburetor (it's clean and had gas in it)
Checked for spark (it has an NGK plug and it has spark)
Set valves to factory recommendations (.06/.08mm)
Charged battery and checked oil.
After all of the above, the engine still just turns over without starting. What's my next line of attack? A compression check? Thanks in advance!
