i have a 2002 400ex that i run turbo blue race gas in. now i havent ran it for a week but usually i ride it every week. but i went to start it today and it would not start. i checked if the gas was on and it was then i tryed pumping the throttle and chokeing it and nothing. so i pulled the plug and it was dry. what do you think is wrong???

its obviously not getting fuel if the plug is dry. did u check to see if there was gas? if there is try pinched gas line or a leak or maybe clogged filter then if u find nothing clean the carb up good and try.

ya i took everything apart and still nothing. when i look into the cab is spits some gas out were the air box is but not alot and thats when i am turning it over but still didn't start. the plug smells like gas but it is not wet. and i tryed a new spark plug .anyone else

but when i pump the throttle when the carb off it does squrit gas out. so does that mean i might not be getting any spark?

its not getting any spark. i just tested it on the frame. so what would that be the coil?

If there was just a little bit of water in the carb would that make it not start...
