TURNS OVER BUT WONT START

[Jared]

Where in Baltimore are you?

When you say plenty of gas... how far from the bottom of the tank is it filled.

Does it have fresh plugs? Plugs can get gas fouled from repeated starting attempts... get yourself a good motorcycle battery tender Put some fresh gas in the tank...pull the plugs and see if they look really wet/see how clean they are...

Do you get good spark when you crank it over? Just for fun....spray some starting fluid into the air cleaner and give it a try ( gumout spray carb cleaner  will work too if you have that or something like it...). You'll have to pull the seat off- you can see the air filter  under the tank/in front of the battery..

Give it a few blasts of the cleaner or starting fluid and try it...

My bike would absolutely not start the other day either. The day before all it would do was backfire like a cannon. So I spent $3 or so on new plugs and she fired right up. Could be worth a try.

Is the side stand up or down when you are trying to start it?

Note: it should be up.

My guess is the guy that inspected it broke it.  I'd go down there and read him the riot act. . . I've got a copy if you need one.  

GOOD LUCK!

NO ITS OK. IT WORKED FINE WHEN I LEFT. HE RODE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND RIGHT UP A RAMP INTO MY TRUCK. I REALLY THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH LACK OF FUEL AND POSSIBALLY THAT PETCOCK THING. THANKS ANYWAYS.

BY THE WAY WHAT IS THE RIOT ACT? PM ME WITH IT

OH, AND THE STAND IS UP. IT CRANKS BUT WONT START.

Just a slang for getting in somebody's face.  

But, by way of further explaination:

The 1715 Riot Act was an attempt to strengthen the power of the civil authorities when threatened with riotous behaviour. The act made it a serious crime for members of a crowd of twelve or more people to refuse to disperse within an hour of being ordered to do so by a magistrate. One of the problems for magistrates was actually reading the Riot Act during a serious disturbance. For example, after the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester, most of the demonstrators that were convicted claimed that they had not heard the Riot Act being read. The Riot Act was unsuccessful in controlling a series of disturbances including the 1743 Gin Riots, the 1768 St George's Massacre and the 1780 Gordon Riots.  

Note: my great great grandfather was rumored to have started the 1743 Gin Riot.  So to honor him every year, I get piss drunk and run around throwing chairs through plate glass windows.
