do you have proper gap on the plugs????

 

It was running last month, haven't changed the plugs yet wasn't sure if that could be a problem or not.

 

New turn of events, went and got carb cleaner. Took of the airbox and sprayed it directly into the carbs with the throttle open for it to get enough to try to kick over. Start bike. nothing. So i do not think it is a fuel issue. going to notch out a phillips for the D-tool part since I went to three places that have not even heard of it.

 

I dont understand how you people dremmel out a slot in our airfuel screw. Mine is recessed down in there so there is now way of me getting to it.

 

you have to trim a slight bit on the carb body's itself also, but it doesn't hurt anything as long as you don't go too far on your cutting

Once the Carbs are off is there a test to see if you can get it to turn over? I squirted carb cleaner into the carbs and nothing. Wondering if maybe I should change plugs next?

 

Try using a spay bottle of premium fuel or even a little bit of starter spray. I don't think carb cleaner will start a bike it actually kills it when you spay it into carbs on a running bike if you don't throttle it.

 

I will try that, thanks. If it doesn't fire up should I try spark plugs next or what would be the logical move?

 

did you mess with the idle screw when you took carbs off?

it is possible that the baffles may be to open and not letting it start, also vise verse.



EDIT: sorry didn't see where someone had already asked you this. This does sound like the problem to me though

turn screw pretty far in, and while cracking it slowly turn screw back out "you will start to hear the motor sound like it is about to start". when you get to that point I always stop and walk away, come back with new plugs "install them" then try to start it again. normally fires right up.

 

Ya I unscrewed it all the way by accident.
