Maytag Motor Won't Run

Can anyone here help me with my Maytag motor? It has spark but it will not fire even with starting fluid. I think it may have something to do with the position of the points or timing? It was my grandfathers and I'm 14 years old so I don't have much experience with these old motors. I went to the Maytag Collectors Club site but it wasn't very much help. A friend of my Dads told me to try here. Thank you.

Well, first things first. Take the spark plug out and lay it on top of the cylinder and kick the pedal over and see if the plug sparks at all. If it does, then you have eliminated half of the engine. Engines need 3 things to run: Spark, fuel, and compression. If there is no spark, you know where to start looking. Open up the cover on the flywheel and see if the points are opening and closing as the flywheel turns.

If it is getting spark, then it's a fuel problem. The carburetor is really just a needle valve with a couple of flap style check valves in there so the gas can come up but not go back down into the tank. If you remove the carb, there is a bell shaped part at the bottom that has a ball or a disc inside that is a one-way valve to keep the gas from draining right back down into the tank. Make sure it rattles. I have even seen some come loose and if there is no check valve, it won't run.

ONe last thing. You may have to hold your thumb over the air breather on the carb to "choke" the engine. This is all assuming that you are talking about a single cylinder engine. The twins were a little different but the same basics apply. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

I did get it running. I took the cylinder off to see if the inlet for the fuel was plugged up but it and the cylinder and the piston looked fine. Then I put it back and gave it a kick and it started right up. Then I noticed that I forgot to put the bracket and screw that holds the kill switch wire back on and it was smoking and blowing air out of the hole where the screw goes. Then while it was running I put the screw back in and it died and I couldn't get it started again so I thought that it wasn't getting any air. I took the carb off and blew air really hard in the little short pipe on the bottom of the carb and put it back together and now it starts and runs fine. I am going to restore it and paint it for a 4-H project.

Yeah, a clean mixer is important. I restored my little 92 in my kitchen over the coarse of 2 weeks. I would advise the ceramic impregnated engine paint available at the auto parts stores unless you are going to go with a paint gun quality paint as the ceramic paints are fuel/oil resistant and hold up well. I did mine that way with some Hunter green and it looks good. Only thing I would have done differently is put some clear over top of it as the finish is somewhat rough.

AS for the kill switch screw going straight through to the cylinder, mine isn't like that. I'm thinking someone tapped yours all the way through while trying to do a repair at some point. There's no reason for it to go all the way through and extra places to leak compression with no gasket = bad idea. If the screw seals the hole good, may as well run with it. Good luck!
