Got a little problem i was hoping you guys could help me with.
I just changed coils and adjusted the valves on the wifes 400 now wont start
The bike would die when it hit water instantly. I pinpointed that to the coil (sprayed water on coil and bike died) I have a spare harness so i took the coil off and swapped. also adjusted the valves and checked the cam chain since its gettin noisy.
Valves a little out (one side ex and in were a little on the snug side, the left were loose) so i adjusted to specs .004.005 . Cam chain looks good.
Put it back together go to start spit/sputter then nothing. Checked the spark again w/ the new coil its good. Put new plug just for the hell of it.
I also drained the gas, and cleaned the carb ( the airbox and filter was pretty wet, from the harescramble i ran on it, so thought maybe i had water in gas that was why it wouldnt start) Fresh 93 octane nothing.
It ran great other than cutting out when it hit water before this???
I have spark and fuel...
Im sure its something dumb im overlooking so thats why i figured maybe someone could open my eyes. Were supposed to ride tomorrow and its wet so i wanted to get a new coil on for her so there would be no problems :rolleyes: lol
