2005 Gas Yamaha G22 Issues going

[bradensing]

Good afternoon, I recently purchased a 2005 Yamaha Gas G22 for my daughters and to help do some jobs around the house. Been loving it, but the other day my wife came in and says it will barely move. It will go about 1 mph (think the starter is gently/slowly moving it). It will not fire, just the starter will go when gas is applied. I thought I may have a fouled plug so I changed that, no change to situation. Also I checked my air filters, everything looked great. When I press the gas pedal it does move in back and the fuel filter looks to be about 1/4 full with gas. Any ideas or help on what I should do or a link to a video would be much appreciated!

Check for throttle movement at carb when pedal pressed (can barely be seen with airbox in place), good, check, bad, "new throttle cable". Spray a small amount of ether/brake cleaner/carb cleaner into carb, crank it to see if it briefly starts, if it starts, "no fuel is being delivered", no start, proceed to spark check. Put removed spark plug against engine & watch for spark, good, check, no, unplug blue & black wires at front base of engine, still no spark "bad tci". If everything so far has not started your engine, do a compression check & report back.

Since you just bought it I'm willing to bet the carb is dirty and needs cleaning . Ethanol probably has plugged the carb.
