update- faulty spark plug! started right up after replacement.

ok I got the timing set. I was trying to set it on the exhaust TDC not compression. but the bike still wont start. I just bypassed the sidestand switch and the clutch switch, but I need to now which...

ok thwe light comes on when its in my hand but mot when its in its place.

ok update- my kill switch was on! I didn't know that was gonna keep the light from turnin on. so im gonna check the light now. my clutch needs to be adjusted. it doesn't grab the crankshaft in 5th...

ok Ill check the sensors. thanks for the encuragment :)

yes I took the timing plug out. I tried it on both and neither gave me light. not sure which one is which so I tried it on both.

wouldn't rotating the wheel do that? if not how do I rotate the crankshaft?

just watched a youtube video of howe to bypass the side stand switch. easy!

ok so I rotated the wheel 360 and still nothing. then I rotated it 180 and nothing. is my ignition module bad?

is the compression stroke with the line, and the exhaust with the dots? im using the line. I read in a post that there are 2 dots, then there is a line. maybe that's on a different bike because im...

yeah don't mess with anything in the carb. just spray cleaner. you could adjust something without knowing and have to get it tuned back. its very expensive.

jetlee- that's what I mean by cleaning....

I have tried to adjust my static timing. I put the bike in 5th gear got it a tdc and the LED wasn't on.so I moved the igniton module and the light wouldn't turn on no matter were I moved it. is my...

I figured out how to get it to move, you just loosen the screws! but no matter how little or much I turn it the light doesn't come on at all.

there are three things your are looking for, spark, fuel and air. if you don't have even one of those things, it wont fire. you already have spark, good. now you need to check for fuel. check the...

so I got my timing cover off, put my line at tdc, and the lights not on. the ignition module wont even move. I checked my battery and it was 12.3 so I put it on the charger. would a low battery cause...

every one is saying you have to drill out the timing cover, but I just pop mine off with a small flat head. its plastic and bendy so it just bent and popped off. and in your video you didn't lift the...

well I didnt clean the carb with wd-40 I just wiped it with a towel. I only sprayed the jets after I took them out with it.
what does bypassing the kickstand do? and I don't have carb cleaner. its...

ok so i just put the carb back on and pluged the thing in, put all the stuff back on and....still no good. now im getting frustrated. i have tried almost everything you can do. i took the jets out...

i just took the carb off and adjusted the air fuel mixture screw to 2 -1/2 turns from soft bottom. and when i took the carb off i realized i didn't plug back in the auto enricher and throttle...

i haven't adjusted my auto enricher. needle is at stock my jets are stock also, I don't have a compression guage so ill have to buy one and I have spark at plug. it shouldn't be some big issue since...

I should also mention that because the manual says run 87 that's what I got. I think its still trying to burn off the bad gas that's in the engine.

so im getting air, and getting spark, so now I need to focus on fuel. its not floaded and I cant smell fuel, so I know its not getting enough fuel. (if my logic is correct). so what do I adjust, do I...

ok I got gas last night, I put it in and... no good. it turns over, fires for a split second, keeps turning and just repeat the process for few seconds then backfires and shoots smoke. maybe the...

if I was going to keep the bike I would totally get one, but im just fixing it to sell so I can buy a different bike.

well I don't want a racing plug. Harleys site has it for $5 with free shipping. anyway I don't need a plug I need new gas. turns out I didn't have time to get the gas last night so ill have to try...
