Coolector said:you have to eliminate if you already haven't is fire and fuel. Take the plug out and reinstall the wire and lean it against the cylinder and get your son to kick the bike, you should see a blue spark on the plug. If ok carry on to fuel. an easy way to tell is to clean the plug real good even use some heat and reinstall it turn on the gas and kick er a few times, remove the plug again and it should be wet. She should start if you have both of these unless the timing is way off or the kill switch is stuck on or something stupid. I would also take the carb apart if I were you and blow it clean, could be a peice of dirt stuck in the pilot jet, small one.
Good luck hope this helps.

Mavic said:Mo,
Checking the post again, you stated excess smoke and that is sometimes a symptom of being too rich. However, you should really follow these guidelines.
Warm the bike up by blipping the throttle until the cylinder and/or radiator are emitting nice warm signs.
Take the bike and run it though the gears all the way to WOT. These babies like to be run and once the bike is good and cleaned out, you will better be able to assess your seat of the pants jetting diagnosis on the low end. After you enter a slow speed section from the higher rpms, see how the bike responds. It if boggs, sort of like bwaaahhhaaAAAAA, it is probably lean. If it blubbers/4 cycles and blows lots of smoke it is probably rich. Seat of the pants diagnosis probably is not the best method but is generally close.
