Hockey390 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 I just did the TORS removal and put her back together.. Started 2nd kick, ran it for 5 mins.. SHut it off (that was yesterday) today after work I go to kick it over, and something just didnt seem right.. It sounded like it was DEAD.. of course it didnt spark, so I checked for spark.. TORS were removed, so of course, I had it.. Made sure the carbs were on right, turned the gas to off, then back to where it was, then removed the gas hose and gas came out so i was getting fuel. I also tried Thrust Quick Start fluid, which normally works if I have spark.. But it didnt! The only thing I can think of is that today it is 90 degrees in Michigan, and yesterday it was bout 65... Maybe it just not used to the heat? Any tips/comments helpful.. Quote
pimp559 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Make sure both switches are on. If they are try to pull/push start it. If it starts it sounds like you might still have a problem with the carbs. Quote
Hockey390 Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Posted May 13, 2004 But it ran yesterday... It ran strong and totally fine. I shut it down via the key, and shut the gas to off. any other ideas? Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 are you %100 positive you have spark?? put a screw driver in there and grab the shaft of it if you have too, i find its easier to do that if im by myself where did you check for gas at the petcock or at the carbs? if you check it at the petcock there could be a blockage at the carbs. heck here is a great article on if your bike wont start here Its from MX action..i wish the quad mags would write good articles like this Quote
Hockey390 Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Posted May 13, 2004 I would put my life on it that I had a SOLID spark.. Unscrewed 1 plug at a time, held it to the head, spark was jumpin like its never jumped before.. Did that to both plugs. As for gas, if that was my problem, wouldnt have started and burned the quick start fluid? Thats what it does in the past.. Gas and spark, thats all you need. I have both, I have a feeling its the warm weather.. Maybe I flooded it.. who knows, all I do know is that it seems odd to have gas and spark but no FIRE! Quote
