Ok Guys( and girls too),
Guess it's time to invite all who are interested to a "bike starting "party !!
I'll supply the food and beer..and if, no when you get my bike started welll.... more food and beer ??. Sorry I cannot pay your plane ticket. Bye the way,I am the only one in this group from Southern Cal ??
Back to the bike, I'm really thinking that I may just need a new battery. Even when freshly charged, it has not cranked over very fast and since I recently bought the bike, I don't know how old it is. So, since I 'm pretty cheap ,where can I get the best deal on a Savage battery? Does Walmart for example sell something that will work ? Don

New sparkplug got it... and tried it already. no luck.
Steve, Decompression working? ...how to check it ?
My brother who is more into mechanics than I am (but lives 2000 miles a way) says that I should spray a small amount of starter fluid into spark plug hole then quickly put plug in and see if it fires. That seems a little dangerous to me. What do you guys think ?
I work mostly weekends now so can't get back to it until Monday. Don

That seems a little much a tiny bit in the air box shouldn't hurt it - but nor should you need to - you seemed in doubt about the bat'ry sure won't hurt to know you had a new one

Don,
The decompression solenoid will click when the starter is pushed. You should hear this before the starter kicks in. A strong click or clunk.
I don't know if the engine will even turnover if the decompression is not working, but if it does I assume it will turn over slow.
There is an adjustment, but what I'm thinking is you may have inadvertently disconnected the timer module or or pinched a wire. The module is under the tank.
You might also want to check under the tank to see if there are any other disconnected wires.
Steve

I agree. If the battery is suspect, replace it.
Perhaps you could ship your carb to someone that has removed their airbox (not I) and has easy carb access to make sure it's working properly. Or possibly someone has a known working carb and could provide you with a loaner.
I'd avoid the starting fluid. That stuff is pretty nasty and kinda hard on motors. Maybe just put a tablesp00n of gasoline down the plug hole.
Edit: LOL it wouldn't let me type tablesp00n. Doh

To you and everyone else that pulls the plug the minute there is a problem....
Na, Na, I told you so!
When is everyone gonna learn? Nine times out of ten, you change the plug plus do a dozen other things, and then you figure the plug fixed it.
My plug is 3 years old, and even then I didn't need to change it. Stop wasting your time and money.

Just to note: In many cases where an enrichener is used instead of a choke (as I believe the case is with the stock BS40 Mikuni carb, definitely with the Amal Mk2), twisting the throttle bypasses the enrichener circuit and renders it useless.
Good point, but some people think they have to open the throttle to start it.

Don,
Is the decompression working?
Steve
Compression is always working. It's a matter of how much compression is working

But at $1.49 per spark plug change, it's not a lot of money.

Progress (?) report:
No potato in the tailpipe ....
Decompression solenoid is working ....
In the morning , I'll put everything back together with the old plug( because it DID run with it) and give it another try.
If it does not start then I' ll buy a new battery and see it that does the trick. Thanks for your support . Don

The first thing I do when I get home from work is to check if Don has got his bike started. When he gets it running I guess I'll have nothing to look forward to.
