I recently inherited a 1986 Honda Aero 50. It has been in storage for about 10 years. I have cleaned the carb, drained the old gas and oil and replaced with new. I put in a new spark plug and tried to get it started. It started to crank and then got stuck. I could manually move it through the sticking spot. After a short time I decided to remove the spark plug and see if it was a mechanical hitch or compression. I turned it over a couple of times with the spark plug out and I was met with an eruption of oil. However, it cycled through without any problem. I tried to blow out as much oil as I could and eventually no oil was coming out. When I replaced the spark plug, it was able to keep cranking without getting stuck. However, it still would not start and everytime I removed the spark plug it was fouled with oil. I know that I am getting a spark. Any thoughts??
