havin a bit of a problem here.....
for a couple days, my bike hasnt been running right...even without running it hard. every little bit it would die. i could usually get it to come back to life if i pulled the clutch and let it sit, but once it was out, it was out. when i couldnt get it to start again, i choked it, took the choke back off, tried again. it started, then died a little later- same situation.
well the last time it keeled over, it wouldnt get back up for nothin. i cranked and cranked and couldnt get the slightest sign of life coming from it. my dad brought the truck down and we pulled it back to the shed. took off the spark plug, changed it, still nothin, couldnt even get a spark. that raised the possiblity of it being the coil, but we ruled that out after testing on the old 250.
i am very dumbfounded as to what it could be. i poured in some carb cleaner, full oil, full gas, new spark plug, coil isnt bad, yet im not getting a spark. i think that is the main clue as to whats wrong with it... no spark. but why?
i have a kill switch on it, although i dont think thats it, unless the wire is broke somewhere in the middle.
if any of you have some ideas or suggestions, id be glad to hear them. my email address is blink_4_eva@hotmail.com, or you can reply here.
