Default No Start

So my 1995 f3 just stopped running yesterday. I havent driven it on the streets yet but just had a bunch of work done to it and it was running perfect, now wont start. I just had it jetted and installed an ape tensioner. I checked for fuel and spark both are good and removed the fuel pump and tested it properly and it works great. It cranks and will sputter a couple time but wont fire. I was wondering maybe the kill switch? How does it work, does it kill the spark? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

good place to check is your inline fuel filter, it might not be getting enough fuel.

I would change the plugs completely. If you just got it jetted they might have fouled out. It's real common on f3 if you start it rev up a couple times and shut it off. You know like if you just start of for someone to hear it or what ever. You need to let it run a minute or two before shutting it off.

The plugs are brand new and everytime I started it I would let it run. The only time I didn't was the last time before it wouldn't start. I ran it for only about a minut or so and then put it away and forgot the choke fully on. But after it wouldn't start the next day I took them out blew out the cylinders and checked for spark on all four.

I agree, mine will do the same thing every once in a while if you don't let it run long enough to get the cylinder temps up enough for a complete burn.

No they cost too much at Honda. Go to auto store they are like 2 to 3 bucks cheaper per plug.
