Default Starting problem - VID

Listen to this and tell me what you think.



My initial reaction was plugs.
I've checked them 3 times (gaped right), and the coils, they are all good.
Pump is fine.
Gas is good.
Fuses are good.
I let the bike sit without the plugs to dry out a bit, but same problem.

I guess I could order a new set of plugs just to be on the safe side.
She started up initially but sounded like she was running on 2 plugs, then bogged down.

sounds flooded out. maybe pull plugs to let dry out. put them in after a while and try to start with no choke and a little throttle. or the worst thing ever but a time saver......a little snort of starter fluid

Default try this

try this, for some reason, this always works for me
push the starter for 10 seconds with full throttle and then close the throttle while make sure that the starter is still pressed! and see what happens, good luck

I know it soundz painful, but you need to do a compression test.
To me, it sounded a little like a motor that has jumped its cam timing.

when mine gets like that sometimes its like its flooded so ill try to start it with full throttle and it usually clears it out and starts up fine after that.

Sounds like an operator problem to me lol jk Well from what I can tell, it sounds like it's trying to completely fire but sounds like it's just getting a little fuel so it's popping. The spark should be ok unless you can tell that some plugs aren't firing. Does it smell flooded?

Wouldn't it be easier to just check the timing if that's the suspected problem?..

dont know how to check the timing, but looks like 2 spark plugs are flooded, 1 is about half as wet and the 4th is completely dry.
