OK so heres whats up. Bike stopped running well at the end of last season. Would bog down and stall and i started having problems getting it started. So just recently i took the carbs apart and cleaned em up, i figured this was the problem, it sat for a little while before i bought it last year. Put the carbs back in charged the battery up, tried to start it, no go. Fiddled with the idle screw for a while, every once in a while it will backfire really loud. Once or twice i got it to start, and revved really weakly, could keep it at like 5 grand if i kept the throttle wide open. So now im back to it not starting at all and im getting pissed. WHen i try to start it trys to turn but just wont. I dont think its the battery cause the lights and horn works, and it read over a 12v charge. Any advice???
thanks luke
see if you have good fuel flow, close the tank petcock and remove a hose clamp and aim the other end in to a container, open the petcock back out again, should come out in a happy steady stream,
is the tank petcock in the right position "vertical"
try i running with it on prime, any difference?
check your air filter, anything made a nest in there?
do a quick sans filter start, any better?
plugs? cables not on the plug all the way, is there a short?
check carb float level?
just somestuff i'd check out in your case
i'm sure there are more ideas!
Choke? Does the choke work?
