wont start

[stingerman99]

i got a problem. did a oil block off and new piston and rings and took the thors off. bike started after all that work but now it wont. changed the coil because spark was inconsistent. still wont start. it is a stock 04 blaster. can anybody come up with something to check to help out? :-/

Getting fuel?
Spark?
Gas turned on?
Carb dirty?
Engine kill switch is set to run?

 

[sheeblast]

so you have a bad spark?
make sure you removed the TORS correctly.
also make sure you did the correct block off for the oil. too lean and it wont start.

tors or the parking brake sensor thing-a-ma-jig

 

[stingerman99]

yes key is on. thors removed properly cause i did my banshee as well. too lean i dont know if that is the case i run 40:1 ratio like everything else i have. i read you dont have to change the jet from stock which is 230

 

[sheeblast]

is your plug wet when you take it out?
there is three things you need to an engine to run
1) fuel
2) spark
3) compression

 

[stingerman99]

the plug is a little wet but not fouled. there is spark and compression

 

[scotj77]

what is the compression? any backfiring when trying to start?

 

[stingerman99]

yes some backfire

 

[blasterbogger]

every once in while i have some backfire too wat is it?

 

[York Racing]

I think its just too rich. My Blaster backfired before I jetted it right and it almost blew my ear drums out and it didn't run worth a crap. If it was even richer I could see what it wouldn't start.

 

[stingerman99]

If it is too rich. Jet should be 230. what jet should I go to

 

[specialized7]

if its rich it will start , sound like you have other issues. pour a we bit of premix in the sparkplug hole if that dont work get a new plug

 

[4cfed]

mmm... inconsistant spark.. backfiring...... FLYWHEEL KEY.... check it and see if it is sheered

 

[stingerman99]

I'll try the flywheel. I tried fuel in spark plug hole and changed plg and no go

 

[scotj77]

does it back fire just once after you kick it over and over and over? like a weird kerthump sound. if so this isn't good. I have experienced this twice and both times the piston was toast. just a guess though i can't see what's happening

 

[Busted Warrior]

Mine did the same thing. It ended up being that the woodruff key sheared off and the timing was wayy off. Take off the flywheel and check out your key.

i notice before mine stop turning on yesterday on me mine was having some back firering aswell..

sounds like a sheared flywheel key
