warrior wont start

[quadingdude23]

ok so ive aquired a older 90's warrior and it wont start.ive tried everything from checking spark,gas,fuse. cleaned the carb,checked the electricle connections. what are some possible problems to look for and how can i check all the electricle connections? also how can i check/jump the relays?

Timing, also check for compression.

how do you check for timing?

Set the piston to top dead center and look at the cam sprocket, it should have to lines that you make even with the head. Hard to explain it really, once you see the lines on the camsprocket just line them up with the head. One tooth out of timing is enough to make it not start.

anything else i should check?

Not that I can think of at the moment, but check to see if timing is right, also check for compression. If that doesn't work let us know.

ok so i didnt really check the timing and my freind couldnt find his compression checker but it definenetly has compression if i put a finger there. so i have the motor out of the frame and i want to rip apart the top end.what should i look for that could be bad. and how do i get to the keyway by the flywheel?

Had one that did that my shop was working on, check the parking brake, up by the clutch make sure its returned all the way if not it won't start.

I think you need a flywheel puller.

You need a flywheel puller.

give it a shot of quick start. if it dont fire, summin aint right.

Check compression.
Check timing.
Confirm there is actually a blue, consistant, sharp, crisp spark.
Confirm there IS gas getting to the combustion chamber.
