Fouled plug by the sounds of it. All this new platinum ,mechscrewium dont mean crap, just like yer weedeater change the plug fresh gas and there ya go.

 

Hopefully, ya got air/fuel /compression at the proper time/ after 50 years of bull****.Try a new plug.

 

Missing compression my man, fuel,air spark,good bbq.No worries

 

Right, but what has the OP done to his bike to mess with his bike's compression?

 

fuel air compression/ timing

 

If no comp your a wet fart

 

go back to basics . you need intake /exhuast. don't be poring raw gas on rare steak. God only knows, ets help him. missing compression and why I have seen people line up ring end gaps on major thust faces and wonder why oil is blowing out the *** end

So today after work I got back on it! I tried checking everything listed. I didnt make any mods or do anything to mess with my timing, so that should all be fine.

I started by checking the spark, I pulled the old plug and replaced it with a fresh one, held it against some metal and I do have spark.

I removed my new air filter and checked to make sure I had nothing behind it blocking the intake and as I suspected, it was clear.

I then checked all fuel lines coming from new tank. All lines looked and felt good but to be sure, I unplugged the line from the bottom of the on/off/res. valve and then opened it, fuel went everywhere. SO all lines are free flowing.

I then drained the fuel out of my tank and put about a gallon of fresh gas in. STILL NO LUCK STARTING!!!

I removed th eexhaust and checked to make sure nothing was blocking that, all clear.

I then tried unplugging the new headlight thinking it may be drawing too much power. Still nothing.

After trying and trying and tryign and th ebike just cranking and cran king, I finally got somethign. The bike backfired!!!

THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF IT!!! MY BIKE STILL WONT START!!!

ANYTHING????????????

Thanks, MAXX

 

Give the air cleaner a shot of starting fluid. If it starts for a few seconds and then dies, it means you let it sit too long and will need to clean the carb jets.
