[kentui08]

can anyone help me before i pull my hair out my bike wont start STILL, ive replace the cdi/coil, spark plug, staic coil ,reed vale and carb ive cleaned the carb un flooded the engine and still nothing i know its not the elecs because ive just sorted thought all of it and fixed everthing.

there is a spark and fuel getting to the engine and there is compression any help would be greatly welcomed

[JR]

Then it all boils down to how much compression? You have the 3 amigos, spark, fuel and compression but is it enough? Also did you make certain the reed valve was in place correctly and it's not got the slightest defect?

If the rings are shot or even stuck then the compression is so weak that it won't run. Does it even fire at all and try to start?

[kentui08]

theres enfought compression to blow my finger out of the spark plug hole and after i unflooded it its start to sound like it wants to start but just wont

[JR]

Sometimes on two strokes if you severly flooded it the spark plug will be shot? I would get a new hot plug and try again.

[kentui08]

still no hope ive had 3 new plugs for 3 weeks for it

[alleyoop]

The only thing to look at then is After you try to start it and it WON'T take the plug out and see if it is WET OR DRY. That should tell you something, If it is WET then the PLUG is NOT FIREING when in the MOTOR which would point to a BAD GROUND from FRAME TO ENGINE.

If it is DRY then you know you are not getting gas into the motor

Welcome Tom. I see you've got JR and Al on the case. You're in good hands. Good luck!

[alleyoop]

So how does the plug look WET OR DRY? 4 strokes can take some flooding but 2 strokes do not fire very well if flooding is occuring. Also when you checked for SPARK did you check for spark holding the spark plug on the engine? It may spark holidng it to the frame but not the engine and in that case check the ground wire from the engine to the frame. If it is not making a good ground the spark plug will not fire when in the engine.

its wet and it sparks on the exhuast will check if it sparks on the engine
