  |
|
i have had a this bike for over a year and never had any problems, until i washed it with a high pressure hose and now it wont start 
its turns over but does not fire up
i have so far-
- pulled the carbi apart and cleaned it
- unclipped all the electrics and sprayed CRC and reconnected them
- cut off the kill switch completely
- purchased a brand new spark plug and checked for spark
- poured petrol into the the spark plug hole onto the pistons and tried to start it
- blocked the air box suction hole and tried starting it with the throttle open
I AM OUT OF IDEAS!!!!
AND ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED |

They are all things id do but you should narrow it down a bit first.
An engine only really needs 4 things...
Compression, Fuel, Spark and Air.
Do you have Spark at the plug?

Check your valve clearances.

| if it has sat for a while, try draining your fuel, and adding fresh... get 98.. ethenol blended fuels do not have a long shelf life (it can be measured in weeks).... and can cause the problems you are having... |
