Okay, so not even a week after my throttle problem, i change my rear spring out and installed the bbr one, put some new street pegs on, and get it put back together. And the pos wont start!!! now its like it isnt getting any fire, spark plug is brand new. Yesterday i was trying to get it running and would give it a kick, it would act like it was gonna start pretty much, but then it wouldnt. Tried today after work, and it wouldnt even act like it wanted to start. Not real sure what the problem is, but help would be perfect. AGAIN!

 

Did you try starting fluid!!!!!!!!!

 

fuel on?

 

fuels on, tank is full, key is on, spark plug is brand new, i dont know wtf is the deal. Im about ready to drive it off a cliff though!

 

ill take it if you dont want it. lol, you buy the right plug?

 

Pull the sparkplug out and see if its firing. Check the wires goin to the coil pack u might of bumped one lose messin with your throttle cable.

 

Being that you had the carb off the other day, make sure its mounted tight and gaskets are good. Also, any warm adjustments you made to idle or air/fuel screws may make it idle and run ok while warm but may change after it cools off and restart is attempted and visa versa. Sometimes it's tricky to find the balance.

Make sure you didn't pull any key/ignition wires, coil wires or grounds loose when installing the shock. You can check for good spark by simply pulling the sparkplug from head, put the sparkplug boot back on the plug and hold the tip of the plug electrode to the metal on the head and kick the starter and watch for spark. Do it in a dark or shadowed area and make sure there's no raw fuel present (duh).

Or if you have an ex wife or friend you owe a prank to. Have them stick their pinky in the plug boot and kick the starter! You'll know real quick if your ignition is working when they yelp!
Just remember, it only takes 4 things to make these engines run, spark, fuel, air, lubrication. All in balance.

 

I thought it would start? haha but id try electrical first maybe you got a wire caught in the frame or something when you put the spring back on. and if you were gettinga spark and now your not is the sparkplug in the wire all the way?
