Yfm350fw Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Have you tried rolling it to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigeee Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Have you tried rolling it to start? Not tried yet but shall do, im assuming if its sparking the the timing side of things are ok, and the plug is wet after a session of kicking so its petting fuel, im stuck to why its not firing up. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr_125 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i doubt it will be this but if you have had to redo the wiring there maybe a problem with the ignition mine was the same, i have to kick it and turn the key to the "on" at the same time as kicking and it fires up firse time but if i dont theres a spark ect but wont fire.
