razorbackbanshee Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Do you have the crossover tube between the carbs on. I've made this mistake before. Quote

BigRed350x Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 You've established you have spark, but is it a good strong spark or a weak one? Wires on the correct posts on your coil? orange to + and black to - check your compression. do you have good gas? Have you tried purging your tank and putting new gas in, freshly mixed? When was the last time you cleaned your carbs? Whats your elevation and jetting? clean air filters? checked your reeds? crossover tube in place? I'd put fresh gas in it, pull your carbs and clean them real good. Trim back about a quarter to half inch of your spark plug wire and screw your plug caps back on on the fresh wire. Its tough on rings so dont use it as a regular method of starting, but you could try and spray a little starting fluid in your carbs and trying to start it. Tell us your elevation and jetting and we can help you out a little more. What else did you do to your bike when you had it apart? Check your compression... Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I have a boss intake. chevshee He's not talking about your intake tube, hes talking about the crossover tube between the carbs. If you have aftermarket carbs you wont have this, but if you have stock carbs you have to be sure the crossover tube is in place... Quote
