Compression, spark, no start
10/18/13 at 09:49:53

Ok so after fixing the head gasket and dealing with the starter clutch gears I have ran into another problem. The motor will rotate, there is compression and spark but it doesn't want to fire. I replaced the spark plug, I put on the raptor petcock. I tried with throttle and with none. I've tried with choke and with none. The evap tube coming from the engine isn't connected to the air box if thought that might be the issue but if it's just running air to the air box then it shouldn't show any difference if it was running air to the outside

I'm going to ride whether I have to push this bike or not!

Re: Compression, spark, no start Reply #6 - 10/19/13 at 21:24:56 I know you said you have spark, but thats w/o compression, toss a new plug in it & be Certain that battery is Hot. I hope you blew the dirt from around the plug, if you didnt, it went in the jug.

I think mine was 12v when it stopped starting, but it sounded like it was cranking fine. But you can try push starting with a weak battery helping,

The battery is at full charge when I put it on there and tried to crank it.
