I've taken ownership of a 1982 Iowa Urban Express. The tank is clean, and the gas flows to the carb. I've cleaned the carb, and checked that it has a nice big spark at the plug. I resorted to stuffing a towel in the itake of the air cleaner box, and after some more kicking, it started up. Some fiddling with the idle screw on the carb and it settled into a nice idle. As long as the engine was still warm, it would start back up with one kick. After I let the engine cool down though, I had to stuff a towel in it agian. Then, same story, it started, adn would continue to start as long as it was warm. Once it cooled of a second time though, no amount of kicking or stuffing would get it to go. Still plenty of gas flowing, and still a strong spark. This time I noticed the tail light wasn't coming on when the key was turned on. Someone help me, please...
