[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 943641, member: 56976"] Make sure the reeds are in good shape (and sealing against the cage well). If they are not sealing well the CR5 can be very very hard to start. Its very rare for the ICM to go bad but I suppose its possible. I've had bikes not start, pulled the plug, verified spark etc, plug looked good, re-install still no start, replace plug and it starts right up. I have no idea why, but its not uncommon. I'd recomend trying a new plug before any other parts, even if it looks good and sparks to the head. Here's the drill that got my dad and my CR5's going after sitting for a while. 1. Turn fuel on, choke on and lean bike over so that a little dribbles out the overflow 2. Very slowly push kick starter through 2-4 times 3. bring piston up so that its approaching tdc 4. Kick hard, no (or very little) throttle. [/QUOTE]
