Now It Won't Start !

[Banshee_UK]

Last week I took my bike to a track and when we got there it took us about 30 mins to kick start it, we were gonna give up but then it just sprouted into life for no reason, we rode on it for a few hours and then it stalled and again, it wouldn't kick start so we had to push start it and it started first time.

 

2 weeks later, I am in the same position, I have spent the last 30 mins trying to start it, I have also cleared the carb by kick starting it with the ignition off and fuel off to get some air in the carb to start over again, like I said, 30 mins I have been doing this over and over again, my leg and foot is killing me!

 

Today I put new spark plugs in her, but that has made no difference.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what this might be?

 

Thanks for your help.

I had a bike that was doing that once. Turned out to be a weak ignition coil. I guess that although it was sparking, it wasn't quite enough. Before that though, I'd check and make sure you've got good fuel and check the compression while you're at it. Shitty compression can make it a bitch to kick over. Also you could maybe check that your carbs are in sync. Not sure if that would make the difference but maybe...

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply, its much appreciated, OK, I removed each spark plug lead and attached a new spark plug, held the threads onto the engine and kicked it over, at the start I received a very poor blue spark then nothing! on both sides.

 

In the manual it says, unscrew the spark plug cap from the plug wire and check the cap resistance with an ohmeter, it its resistance is infinite replace it with a new one - anyone know what the #%^ that means !

 

Anyone know what else I can or how I can check to see what the problem is.

 

Thanks
