Re: Can't get any fire...

You stated good fuel flow - How did you check for this? Did you pull the line from the tank to the carb? When you changed the plug, was the old one wet with fuel? Have you checked the new one again? Is it wet with fuel? Just because the fuel is flowing out of the tank, does not mean that it is necessarily filling the carb bowl.

If the plug's not wet, try setting the petcock to prime, tapping on the carb bowl with a screw diver handle a couple of times, and then tipping the bike from side to side - causing the float to drop so the fuel can refill the bowl.

Just a thought.

If the fuel is making it from the carb to the engine, then there's a whole slew of different things it could be. Try sticking a long screw driver in the end of the plug boot and resting the metal part of the driver 1/8 of an inch from a non painted metal surface on the engine. Hit the starter button and listen for a popping noise - spark.

If you have all of the above, and still no fire, then it's time to break out the compression tester.

Good luck to you
