Welcome to the forum, and I feel your pain. On the bright side you are doing better than me, I've not been able to get mine to start at all. See my thread, I've been reassimilated for details.

My spark was also very weak. I replaced the CDI, coil, and stator and it is still weak. I compared it to another bike in the garage, and I'd say it looks about 1/2 strength, FWIW.

To me though your issue sounds more like the carb. It seems to me like old gas and water or some crud from the tank getting into the carb. How long did the bike sit before you got it?

I'd spray a shot of starting fluid into the air cleaner. If the bike starts and runs a moment the problem is not spark, but carb. If that's the case I'd reclean the carb and install a filter in line. Not a bad idea anyways.

Mine does not start even with starting fluid, not a single heartbeat.

I'm dissapointed in my Zong.

I wish you better luck.

Maybe between the two of us we can figure this out.
