AHH i cant take it

Everything has been going great untill today. I just got my 426 running awesome and today i changed to oil. Well i started it after the first quart and a half and let it idle. It started after the sencond tap of the button...no gas until it started..... Oh course did stay by it and it eventually died. I put the rest of the oil in and went to start it. It wouldnt start, so i put the choke on and gave it gas and it started and died. It did this for a while until now it wont even start it just turns over. Im stumped.

Did you check to see if you have gas? lol..most common thing. check your airfilter. spray some carb cleaner in the carb. check every little thing killswitch and whatnot.

[Crazy400EX]

it has gas, checked and the carb is still squirting gas, kill switch is on, i'll probably take my carb off and clean it.... but i dont know cuase it squirts gas.

I'd check for spark but i dont have a plug wrench and no way to get the plug out!

I believe a 14mm deep socket will work! Check the plug. I would imagine it's probably fouled which is causing you issues. Hopefully it's only a plug. I'll check back later to see if the plug was the issue.

gonna have to be a lot later cuase i dont have deep sockets! haha built my own 426 racer and no deep sockets...i think its funny!

[zephead400ex]

I'm 99% sure a 14mm deep socket will work. Either that or a plug wrench. IMO, I would invest in some deep sockets, haha.

Good luck.

it's 18mm ;) and a normal deep well socket won't work.:eek:

[Crazy400EX]

what your saying is i need a plug wrench

[TC426EX]

a plug wrench comes with the 400ex in the tool kit when you get it unless you got it used and it wasnt included...

[Crazy400EX]

ya it was a used junk pile when i got it.........i wouldnt be suprised it it was the coil.

[meanyellow03ex]

Bet it's the plug. Replace it.

[Crazy400EX]

ok cause it starts just only when i give it gas and then it doesnt stay running

[meanyellow03ex]

For $3.00, try a plug.

[Crazy400EX]

ya i will.................too bad tomorrows sunday! i'll have to wait
