all good and check besides cdi and coil but its not those im sure is there any way to clean the plug just to make sure?

[honda400ex2003]

put a new one in there

also check the compression and timing if you can i guess.


im wondering what was done to it also? you just cleaned the carb and changed lines?

use a bit of starting fluid and light it on fire for a moment or 2.. becareful you don't burn yourself.. it'll burn some of the crap off.. other then that.. spend the couple bucks on a plug...

[ridehonda400ex]

check the filter in the petcock too

[dan5]

Did you check the gas filter in the gas tank I think its on the petcock. tri5ron is always mentioning it when people have fuel problems.

Do a search for fuel screen and put tri5ron in the search by user name

i ran it out of gas a week ago and pushed it in the garage put gas in it yesterday and now it wont run i cleaned the carb cause i figured running it out of gas clogged the jets but guess not ill try a plug tomarrow though mine is ok I think? the head gasket leaks a little drop if that matters? like i said carb cleaner makes it start for some reason

[01boneless]

ill check the filter in the petcock right now so if ya responed and i dont just wait a seconed

[NMills]

how much gas did you put in?? was it left on reserve... or off???? how long did you try to start it??? did you pump the throttle any??

[dan5]

I know this sounds dumb but is the fuel in the on position. Been there done that

[trxPOWER]

well if you pump the throttle and it dosent help it start up its aparent that the carb isnt getting any gas. there is a accelerator pump in the carb that sprays a stream of gas into the motor when you pump the throttle.

[NMills]

Not to go off topic... but i feel a an echo in this post... hehe..

[Stickman400]

I know this also sounds retarded, but check the kill switch. I've had that happen to me before, messed with everything for an hour only to see that the kill switch was on. But I would think it wouldn't start even with ether, but it might.

[01boneless]

cleaned the screen dident help cleaned the plug no help put it on reverve POW!!! fired right up keep in mind it has a 1/4 tank of gas lol laugh call me stupid my retared move of the day!!!!!

[rooster300ex]

First thing I do is make sure a machine i'm fixing to try to start has fuel. :huh

[CJM]

Been there done that lol. One of the first things I check when something goes wrong.

[NMills]

for some reason... even when you look in the gas tank and see fuel... it never really is full enough to start.. don't know why...

[01boneless]

i know its weired because mine has ehnough gas untill you can see the line or crease down in the tank :confused:
