a very strange case of non starting blaster

[motoman159]

. Its got 160 psi compression, replaced the cdi now my sparks amazing. Took the whole harness off cleaned EVERY fitting. Its getting fuel, but it wont even start on pure starting fluid and a new plug. And I took the reeds out and there perfect. Stators good, even my dad couldnt get it started and with 30 years experience thats a big feat.its leak tested. Idk what to do. Im leaving for west virginia sunday so I need to get it running ASAP because I want to take it.

your problem is in your carb mine wont start unless you pick the front of the bike up untill gas comes out of the carb and then it starts first kick

Your float must be sticking or way out of adjustment.

Is not a fuel problem if it wont start on pure starting fluid

Crack open the float bowl drain screw and see if you have a constant dribble of fuel.

Did you check the flywheel key?

Have you flooded it from too much kicking?

May pay to take it for a tow, but lay off the starting fluid as by now there may be no lubrication to the rings.

If it is flooded no amount of starting fluid will make it fire, it will just make matters worse, and the crankcase will fill with gas.

Oh yes the carb gets plenty of gas, flywheel key is good,I may have flooded it how should I fix that

Bumppppp todays the last day. Im getting desperate

 

[Blaster72]

Starting fluid burns really good also. I'm speaking from experience.

Shut fuel off. Turn ignition off. Remove spark plug. Put in 5th or 6th gear and push around with with full throttle. That should pump any fuel in the crank case out.

/\ /\ /\ Add to that drain carby.

 

[motoman159]

Is it safe to pull it around with no plug in it?? I dont want to get crap in it

 

[Blaaster]

Providing there is no crap hiding under the tank it should be fine.

You could always lodge a rag under there if you fear crap may get in.

 

[motoman159]

She lives!!!! But its still breaking up, up top. WHAT THE F*CK

Oops. Forgot to add that part.

 

[motoman159]

God dammit I want to take this thing I spent a year waiting for this trip and now this sh*t

 

[Blaaster]

Now is the time to fully check out the carby!
