Hi stood two years won't start. ..drained fuel new in...emptied carb of old....put shot of carb cleaner through it...plug sparking ok....any thoughts

 

Did you clean the jet?

 

Yes. ..had it all apart... and just now putting it back together...will let you know. ..will probably be the weekend before I get back to it. Thanks for responding.

 

Hi got the jets out cleaned put carb back on.....left air box, seat rear frame off etc.started first kick. Great news however. ...

Put seat, rear frame, air box back on...won't go ...so I will strip down again and restart the process

 

Stripped down again. ..cleaned jets again put back together. ..will not start...so ordered a new plug...any other thoughts?

 

New plug in...still will not start...please any thoughts????

 

Is the spark plug providing a strong spark?

 

Is there any way of measuring the spark? Ive had the plug out and hooked up to the lead whikst in side of engine....on kick start it appears a good spark..

 

Sounds like a very dirty air filter.

 

Ok Richard thanks, I will get and clean the thing...it seems to be have been soaked with very sticky oil and wasn't sure if that was something unique to the Bike.

Watch this space.
