gclark63 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Do you have the fuel on? You did say you jumped the ign switch right? Are you sure you bypassed the switch correctly. Everything I can think of was said already. Fuel is on. and switch is bypassed correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Fuel is on. and switch is bypassed correctly Can you post a picture of your wiring in the area that you bypassed the switch. Maybe I'll be able to see something wrong there. Otherwise, do you have fuel actually making it to your carbs? :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Potteiger Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 So now that this thread is 6 pages long and I am too lazy to look through everything again: you have spark right? you have fuel? you have air and combustion? Is it still backfiring? Can you summarize the problem and every action taken or test in 1 reply? I am with whoever said it is probably something simple that is just being over looked, and I am still betting on something electric: wire melted or separated, CDI, voltage regulator, stator, coil, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Potteiger Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Just for more info: are you running stock carbs and needles clipped in the middle ring? what pipes are those? did you have it ported or did it come ported or is it stock porting? how long did you own it while it was running before it died? did you change anything the trip before it died?

It does not back fire as much but still wont run, it is tring to fire. I can kick on it and it will fill my garage with smoke!( was white at first now it is a light gray, All wires have been checked, inspected by hand one by one. I do have a CDI coming in tomarrow. Allelectrics are new and check out according to specs post on here. I have everything coming in to do a leak down test this weekend. I hope it is narrowed down to, (a.) CDI box (b.) air leak I missed (c.) Twisted Crank (d.) bad fly wheel (mine looks to be in perfect shape, no cracks, chips etc......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have white smoke, then you either have water in your fuel or a leaking head gasket. Try openinthe radiator and kicking the bike over a couple of times. If you see bubbles then your head gasket is bad. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still leaning toward the key bypass. I fought with mine one day so long that I had to untape another harness to follow the wires to remind myself which wires to bypass, and which to leave alone...even though I've shortened, and bypassed 3 or 4 harnesses. There are a couple wires I think that don't need to be connected to anything, just taped off...at least on my harnesses (no lights). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertdeweller Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is a reach but it seems that you have tried everything else and I didn`t see it mentioned. drain the tank and carbs. try a fresh fuel maybe you got a bad batch some how maybe it got some diesel in it or something. try it from a different source than what you currently have. like I said its a reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
