Hey guys,

 

I tend to write alot so you know exactly whats up, but if you hate reading, read the background, then the summarized version is at the bottom ;)

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Just got done with my winter work this last week, pretty much only engine mods that were done was milled head.. Then I had my flywheel lightened and added pipes. I have a twist throttle, and there is a wire that used to connect into the thumb throttle which I couldnt run the bike without, so that is connected and attached to the frame.

 

THE PROBLEM:

 

I put in oil, and went to start her up. Nothing. So of course I checked for spark. There was none.

 

I took off the plastics, gas tank and unhooked the radiator so i could get to all the wires. Took each wire plug apart, blew in it, then put them all back together. Started up, first kick. So I let it warm up so I can ride to my friends to show off my shee, and to take her for her first ride of spring.

 

Of course, my gas was low and she died half way, called him to have him bring me 3 gallons of non-mixed pump gas, he shows up, I add my 12 oz. of oil which I carried with me knowing I was low on gas (another reason I was going to his house) She started up again.

 

I get to his house, and shut it off, and she is sitting for about... 30 mins max. I go to start it up, first kick again. I let it idle for a few mins, then roll it out of his garage, then it starts to die down, I gave it some throttle but couldnt save it. She died.

 

I was boggled by this because it had been running fine about 30 mins prior. So I kick it, nothing, kick nothing.. etc. Put some quick start fluid in, it starts, burns for about 1-2 seconds, dies. Then I tried and tried and tried.. And nothing. Check for spark, there was none.

 

I left it there overnight because I didnt have time to work on it, so I went back the next day and checked her over, still no spark.. So I did what I did the night before which worked.. Blew in all of the wire plugs, and replaced my spark plugs. FInally after like 2 hours of unplugging, pluging back in, check wires, trying TORS on, TORS off, and all that crap, it STARTED!

 

QUESTION:

 

So... Seeing how it started before, and then died, I'm not going to be suprised if I lose spark again. I ordered a TORS removal kit just to make things less confusing and better in the future, but need to figure out what is wrong with what I have.

 

I plan on adding the TORS removal kit, and cleaning up all the wires because they are a mess.. Any suggestions as to what it might be? I'm sure someone has had this problem before..?

 

SUMMARY:

BIke wouldnt start, checked all wire connections, blew in them. Started. Drove to friends, ran out of gas on way. Got gas, got to his house, shut if off, 30 mins later, tried to start at his house. started. died. nothing. no spark. next day, checked wires again, replaced spark plugs, eventually started after 2 hours. Now, read starting at QUESTION. (2 paragraphs up.)

well what iv learned so far if its not starting, rule number 1, get rid of the tors and through them directly over your left shoulder. step 2, go buy the tors removal kit.

 

i think its ok to do number 2 first and then do number one as long as the job gets done.
