Starting Problem?

<< < (2/2)

mikesmith:
If you have spark,try starting it and if it doesnt start pull the plug to see if its wet.If its to wet/oily there wont be spark its wet fouled.If theres slightly wet plug then maybe a ring stuck or broke and you dont have enough compression,and forget the main jet its the pilot jet and air screw you need to worry about.Whens the last time you started it?

Woody223:
I guess my old plug finally gave up the ghost. I finally got to town and picked up a new plug and viola', she started on the first kick.

Thanks to all you guys that replied.

Good to hear it was just the plug,makes it easier if you start with the simple things first,like a plug!

Woody223:
I went throught he whole bike from the electrical to doing a compression check. I just couldn't believe it was the plug when it was running 2 days before but it was.

I guess I need to, not be such a hypo.

Woody223 :shock:
