i'm goin insane

[mandrewlt250r]

ok i just changed my head gasket. I thought that was the problem with my 250r. I'm kicking it and I have spark it wont start it blows a puff or two out the back at the bottom of every kick and feels like the plug isnt firing at the right time i have no idea whats wrong and it gets fuel? is it a timing problem lol or is that a dumb question???

[jhtrx250r]

If your timing plate is correctly installed, you have fuel, you have spark, and I would guess you have enough compression to run?

check your reeds

check for bad ground ,..& make sure flywheel key is not sheared

as mentioned, i would make sure that the key way on the flywheel isnt sheered and i would also try another CDI. i've seen bad CDI's fire late as you describe.

..... en what a way to hi-jack this gentlemans thread. :ermm:

[peeping TOM]

tried a new plug ??

[kiesta00]

Ever tried kicking it like a real man?? LOL

:muscle:

[kiesta00]

Tell you what...this will tell if you its a carburetor or intake issue. Pour a little gas on the air filter and kick it hard a few times and crack the throttle. Mine always pops off when I "prime" the motor using this method.

If it doesn't start, its probably ignition related.

ok so it was the flywheel key got sheered right off thats insane how does that happen???? i would have never guess thanks man i woulda been there for days before i looked at that

[86 Quad R]

the fly wheel has plenty of rotating weight to it and if it isnt totally seated on the crank, something as simple as a kick back can cause it.

[LONG-ROD]

when you put the flywheel back on tap it with a rubber malet after you think it is tight, I take the clutch cover off and wedge a penny between the primary and basket gear. or I have heard of people puting rope in the cylinder, never tryed it though, seems kinds weird to me, lol.

[86 Quad R]

the rope trick is fine for other applications but, not advised in this one. ;)

[LONG-ROD]

For my own knowledge, what do you use the rope trick for?
