So I was cleaning my k&n. With this I figured it would be a good time to shoot some carb cleaner down the carb's. With this now she wont start. She cranks and cranks and then bam backfire. With this I have drained out all the bowls to make sure everything is good. Everything was double checked to make sure it was on there right and it was.

Any ideas?

 

dunno, might have fouled the plugs? I clean mine the old fashioned way. :P

 

yeah try opening the throttle wide open and cranking getting alot of air in the cyclinders with all that cleaner... if that doesn't work, its the plugs.

 

The plugs are wet that's for sure. With this I am thinking if I leave it over night it might be fine by tomorrow. One small project goes into a bigger one that I wasn't ready for since I have a ride tomorrow with my friends.

 

maybe... did u blow the the plugs off with compressed air? thats the least i'd do, while they are out-check spark

 

You flooded it, either let it sit and air out, or crank it with WOT.

 

Tried this again this morning. With this still no start. It acts like it wants to but than just makes a loud pop noise every so often on cranking and just keeps cranking and cranking. Kind of pissed. A former biker said "yep just shoot a good amount of carb cleaner down the barrels". I just did a little bit being on the safe side and I end up with a bike that doesn't run.

Will work on this once I get off work. I'll try to keep you guys updated.

 

Btw, spraying carb cleaner into your intake doesn't clean anything but your intake and maybe your piston heads...:P

 

Put more gas in it today since the gas level was low. Seems like she wants to kick over in choke but doesn't..gets 500 rpms and drops again and keeps starting. I pulled a plug out again today and it seemed really good and dry. Not sure what else it could be.

 

You pull all plugs or just 1? Here is what I would do...

CHANGE the plugs

PUT a good charge on battery.... All the cranking has worn it down.
