new build does not run?

[nitrocircus]

alright i just finnished my banshee and i cant get it started. it has spark and fresh top and bottom end. i kicked this thing till i had a hole in my shoe it would fire like once but not start and a loud backfire every once in a wyle. any ideas? and after kicking it for so long the plugs still looked dry maybe not getting fuel? i know the carbs are full of gas becouse i can see the level in the dial a jet tubes.

What kind of stator?

[nitrocircus]

RM stator but is has real strong spark and its set at +3

[sheerider11]

Good flywheel? Is it on straight? The woodruff didn't get knocked out or forgot? Pick up gap?

Try to get a oem stator on there if you can

[nitrocircus]

wouldnt this all be good if i have good spark?

[sheerider11]

Yep. Must be fine. Prob just tire pressure, stupid me.

[Finch]

not for sure. sure yoru floats are not sticking?  that can happen if they sat dry for a bit. make sure every thing is pluged in also and good ground to the frame

I was going to suggest that the rear spring preload needed to be adjusted, but I only know suspension stuff.

lol, ya i checked the tire pressure, that was my first guess. maybe i could check if all my stickers are in the right place also.

i think it is not getting fuel in the engine. could this be my floats being out of wack? i know there is gas in the carbs but my plugs are dry? i have 34mm pwk's

Check that your slides are down all the way.I just had the same thing happen to me. New build with 35 pwk's from another bike I never ran, plugs looked dry also. Somebody adjusted the carb tops so the slides were still open about 1/4" all the time. Didn't even check that at first because they were supposed to be off a running bike with almost the exact same setup.

if plugs are dry thats your first clue

I'm going with pilot is way to small if there keihin pj carbs I have seen them end up at 62 pilots more than a few times,seemed odd but it has happened to me more than 6 times,plus all the mx trail set ups that run them end up at 162-168 main and big pilots
