Hey everyone I have a 1991 ciao piaggio that wont start. Its been sitting for around 8 years.

No matter how fast i run or pedal it still doesnt start, (and yes i have spark) it doesnt even start when i use starting fluid.

Whenever i let go off the lever it makes a puffing and whistling sound not sure if thats normal.

(Im pretty sure the clutch has something wrong with it but it should still start, right?)

(Things i have changed and done)

New piston and rings

New ignition coil, points, condenser and spark plug

Cleaned carburetor + new float needle

New drive belt

New decompression lever

Fresh 2-stroke oil mix in tank

Transmission oil changed
