Title: Won't Start
Post by paramedic9004 on 09/16/12 at 14:50:12

Went to take a spin today and after disconnecting the batter tender, I pulled the bike out of the shop.

Turned fuel on
Waited about 10 seconds

Cranked...cranked...cranked

Oops. forgot choke...cranked cranked cranked. Nothing.

Push choke in. repeated the above...nothing.

Last time I rode was 2 weeks.

Pulled plug. Rather dirty...went to clean it up...tossed it and grabbed a new one. Changed plug

repeat....nothing.

Checked for fuel flow from tank - fine

What should I start with?

06
K&N Filter (cone)
Raptor Petcock

wouldn't crank if it were the kill switch or kickstand/neutral or clutch safeties.

with your tossed plug against the head and plugged in, check for spark.

check for fuel, open drain with a clear line on it, hold the bike vertical and set the petcock to prime, should come up the bowl gasket or close to it. and then lets some drain into a gas can to see how well it flows. (see there... combined 2 tests in 1 ;D )

then check for air... got any? :-?
how white is the air filter?
is it wet?

Spray some starter-fluid into the carb. If it fires, it's a fuel problem. If it doesn't, it's a spark problem. Get back to us after that so we're not shooting in the dark.
