HELP!! Race tommorow and bike wont start!! Post Race, Still NO GO!?!?!
okay. I crashed really hard 3 weeks ago, bike would not start afterwards, i figured i had fouled a plug and didn't have another so i called it a day.
The other day i opened that carb cleaned it, adjusted the float a lil, bike fired up right off, second kick.
today i took the bike to practice for a race tomorrow and there was nothing there, i kicked and kicked and kicked. so i tore it down cleaned out the carb, and hooray it fired right up sounded good, felt good, ripped it around the pits. so i shut it down put it on the stand and waited for my turn to practice, when it came to be my turn i started to kick and just kicked and kicked and kicked. so i took the carb off once more cleaned it again, and sprayed some carb spray all over the thing, and it fired back up again. so i got out there and practiced for 2 laps, it bogged down and died, i sat there for a bit and it fired back up, and then i rode a little and then it died again.
so i get it home tear it apart again, cleaned the carb real good, made sure there where no burrs on the float needle, adjusted the float again, and it fired up, i tried to start it every half hr and it fired every time. except for just a min ago. i am back to kicking and kicking.
There is gas in the bowl and when i take the plug out and its wet. i do have a good spark and good compression, i am out of ideas. it has to be the carb though....ANY SUGGESTIONS!!????!??!?!? :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: I have a race tomorrow and need this thing to fire..
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
