Default Bike still wont start.....

Ok so after rechecking spark, recleaning the jets, adding new gas and using starting fluid the bike wont start. Readjusted pilot jets to 3 turns out....still nothing. Im running out of ideas. I have a trickle on the battery when cranking..guys this bike wants to start i can hear it it just wont turn over....any last ideas before seeing the mechanic?

Turn over,,,as in combustion turn over? or the starter turning the engine over?

Replacing the plugs after checking them. They are prolly saturated or not getting suficient fuel after numerous starting tries. Is that how you checked for spark? By removing the plugs? 3 full turns is a large amount, not saying that is an issue though. Starting fluid and it is still not igniting. Ya gotta have a good spark.

As in combustion turn over....the starter is cranking the engine but it just wont start. Im actually using a coffee can with the petcock bolted to the bottom but im sure thats not the problem.......i have fuel in the lines and bowls. I took the plug out...left it in the boot and tested it to the frame.....i have sufficient spark..and even with three turns out on the pilot jet and repeatedly cranking the engine, the plugs arent even soaked

hmm... so lets see what its not and see what were left with...

it cant be the wiring since its wanting to start but wont turn over...
its not the battery
its not the spark plugs
its not the fuel
....

maybe you have a blown motor?.. when you try to start it up does it make any odd noises then turns off?

Dunno, but pilot jets plugged if you know that the floats are working properly and you have gas in them is a no fuel supply situation. Double check your choke setup. Unless like mentioned above, somehow mechanically the valves or timing got messed up. And as I have mentioned previously in another thread, if the rack is not even close to being synched for further fine tuning, the engine will not want to start. (Although at least the plugs would not be wet though on a synch issue.)
