As in it tries to start and won't or doesn't even turn over?
Posting for a friend who's blast got tipped over when he left it parked on a busy street over the weekend. Ever since he hasn't been able to get it to start. Wire jostled loose or something?
Any Ideas on where to start/finish?
Thanks,

I'm not too familiar with those bikes. Did it possibly ruin the battery? Does it get power at all?
Isn't the blast carbureted? Maybe the float got stuck, try tapping the carburator. Also, it could be flooded. Turn the fuel line off and try starting it, that should get some of the fuel out.
None of the above - the tip over safety switch needs a good tap to reset - sometimes leaning the bike way over then up righting will do the job. May have to replace, if you can't get to reset or just delete switch as well, and end problem.

Thanks EZ, where is the tip over safety switch so I can try tapping it? In the meantime I'll have him try the lean over thing.
Thanks!

My lightning seemed to do the same thing when I low sided it but it seemed to start up 5 mins after the fall. Didnt have to lean it at all.
Well is it unstuck? Is das boot ok?

I checked with my friend again and he says that it fires but won't turn over -What exactly happens when the tip over sensor triggers? Like, does it kill it altogether, or is what he is experiencing normal?
He says it fell on the throttle side and was thinking that may have something to do with it. I told him to try the lean over thing and have to check back to see if he accomplished it.
It wouldn't be firing at all if it was the tip-over sensor. It definitely flooded out while it was down though. He replace his spark plug yet? Does his throttle work smoothly?
