OK we just bought this bike for my son, it was working great, now it won't start, there is no fire going to ther plug, my hubby checked all the electrical parts and gets a reading.. When we tried starting it with pushing it, the gas was coming out of the exsaust, what could cause this?, we are thinking the CDI, but we do not want to buy one before we are sure.. If only we knew someone with the same bike to try our CDI, anyone have any ideas.. Thanks

Try a new plug? Clean the connection coming from the coil? Get a new coil?

Gas coming out the exhaust? Have you looked at the float level? Sounds like you could REALLY use a Factory Service Manual for the bike. It will let you stop playing guessing games on IF the reading MIGHT be within range as well as help trouble shooting what really is wrong. It's also great to help with maintenance and all the little and big things (like this) that come up.
