Has youre bike been sitting for awhile? If so how long? Or did it quit while you were riding?

Havok_96_2008 08-14-2013 03:24 AM

not long a few weeks i ran it out of fuel, bled the fuel line to remove the air then check to the carbs the pump works and pushes out fuel replaced the spark plugs but it wont fire

Do you mean the plugs have no spark, or the motor won't hit at all?

Havok_96_2008 08-14-2013 03:39 AM

pull the carb rack, do a thorough cleaning since you ran out of gas. Check the synch afterwards just to make sure. Careful on the either, it will damage/wash away oil from the cylinders.

Sounds like you're carbs are stopped up. I've seen it happen in as little as a month. Make sure you take the pilot jet out of each one, hold it up to a light and make sure you can see through it, if not use a bristle from a wire brush to open the jet back up. If you can, blow compressed air through the carb body where you took the pilot jet out
