Banchetta Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 tors maybe? sure its getting gas?? Quote
boonman Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 is the key on? I kow you said it's getting spark, but are you sure? And the lights dimly lighting when you kick it doesn't mean squat. The lighting circuit and the ignition circuit are 2 seperate things on the stator. You can have one without the other.... Are the plugs wet after you have kicked it for a bit? Is the choke tube in place? Pilot jets clean and free of debris? Is the fuel turned on? Is there enough fuel in the tank? I know it's a stupid question, but I have seen it happen. DOn't laugh!! Quote
BenBB Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Boonman nailed everything, especially looking at the plugs after you've been kicking it over, just one more thing I thought I'd mention: have you tried it with the choke "on"? Yes, I'm speaking from dumbass experience... Quote
boonman Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Thanks Chetta. I knew I could count on at least one person for that!!! But the experience I had, was we were at Silver Lake, and we rolled y buddies bike off the trailer. He was kicking the daylights out of it, and himself to no avail. I ask him, you got the fuuel on? "yep" You got the key on? "yep", Kill switch? "yep" You got fuel in it? "stop being an ass man!!" So, I go over and start poking around. I grab the CDI off mine, plug it in, nothing. Swap coils. Nada. Clean the air filter. Nope. Change plugs, not that either. I finally look in the tank, not taking his word for it, and PRESTO!!!!!! there was the answer!!!! I shamefully went over, put my stuff back on my bike, and went riding. Quote
bignasty1 Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Posted November 21, 2003 got it runnin again it would start to start and then crap out it my my choke tube but now my key is being all gay and i cant figure it out i think i am just gonna disconect it. prolly the easiest way to get it fixed. Quote
