dannysbanshee Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) I bought this bike with 0 hours on it about a month ago. I have about 10 hours on it now. I put DG silencers on it and it ran fine. This weekend it blew a small hole in the in the plastice/rubber joint between where the silencer and the head pipe meet. I put a new joint on and now it will not start. I have spark but there seems to be no gas getting to the plugs. Gas comes out of the percock fine. Any ideas???

dannysbanshee Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I tried push starting it and it will start but the right side (same side as the hole) still pops and sputters and it won't run but for only a minute or so. I even tried using starting fluid and it will not kick over. Not ure what else to check, help, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 The only good advice that I can give to you is, DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID EVER AGAIN! Check the compression on both sides. Hopefully something didn't give out internally. Also make sure you didn't just foul a plug. You said it's sparking, but are you checking just the wires, or did you check the wires and plugs?

dannysbanshee Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My new Mantra is "I'm an Idiot" It was the coolant level. It was down just enough to trip the switch. Filled her up and started first kick and is back to its wonderful self. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
