    help a.s.a.p

    Hey yall, Im the fan guy. I was wondering about my 300ex. I am selling it today. I was wondering why it wont start. I have uni filter and cobra pipe and its not jetted. The guy is comming today to pick it up actually in about 5 hrs. It is about 75 degrees out and it still wont start. I tryed choking it and even push starting it. No hope. Please help or at least give me a reasonable excuse to give to the guy. He has already drove it and it was at night and it started. Please help me get rid of this piece of *****.

    Check to see if it has spark.

    After that check to see if it has fuel. not just in the gas tank but in the carb, crack the bolt open at the bottom of the carb. see if fuel runs out.

    one time i had mine started for bout 5 minutes then it stopped and i went out and got a new spark plug and was gettin worries that something had happened to it, then when i took the boot off the spark plug i looked up and the gas was off
    the meaning of this story is to make sure your gas is on!

    Ok the gas is on,,how much is in it??? Put it on reserve and try it..sometimes it looks like there's enough in there,,but that ain't always the case.. IS the run switch in the off position?? Not trying to be a smartarse,,but I troubleshoot stuff all the time for a living,,and normally the easiest problem is the fix..
