Tick tick clunk! - Page 8

Yes, that's probably just the resistance of the leads.

Yeah. Anything under an ohm wouldn't really concern me. But that does rule out another thing. I guess I'll wait for the ignitor to show up. If that doesn't fix the problem then I will really be at a loss.

Pardon me while I vent....

"%*#^{+<+#*\#_=€{^#]#"

This piece of €}*# is still not working!

Just got the new ignitor, tried to few
It up, nothing. I am seriously about to scrap this f!#*€@r.

Ahhhh!!!!!

Does anybody make a long block for a swap?

You should seriously make an attempt to ascertain compression. The quick and dirty way is to stick your thumb over the plug hole with the throttle open and a good battery to crank it. The compression should seriously be blasting your thumb off that hole. If it's not very difficult to hold your thumb to the hole, then you're low on compression.

Just be sure your battery is good otherwise the reading will be way off.

I seem to be getting a lot of gas collecting in the carb so I decided to tear the carb apart and clean it out. It's soaking right now.

I'll put it back together tonight hopefully and try checking the compression. I have checked this way before and was getting compression at that time.

What is the carb doing? Is it literally overflowing gas?

Goose51683 · 08-20-2013, 10:22 AM

It is not but when I take the carb apart there is an awful lot fuel in the carb but I don't seem to get much of a smell in the piston. It would explain not getting any ignition.

Plus I can't stand not doing something so it's just another portion of my bike ill take a deeper look into. I had to get lucky eventually.

Alright here is the latest and greatest.

I've managed to reel in my frustration and try to get productive again. I disassembled the carb, soaked it in gas for a day, cleaned and checked all the ports, everything appears to be free and clear. Reinstalled, still nothing.

Went through and checked fuses again, everything checks out. Pulled the starter plunger on the carb, verified it it working.

Charging the battery again as we speak.

Pulled the side stand relay for shits and giggles, it checks out.

Toggled the kill switch multiple time, don't think that has anything to do with it but at this point what do I know.

Didn't have the daylight to check compression at the piston but I am getting puffing out of the exhaust.

I'll check my spark again tomorrow to ensure I still have that.

I hate to say it but my next step may be a total tear down of the electrical system. I guess I wanted to do a require anyways, I was hoping to ride out the summer and wait till winter but as things seem I may not have that option.

I am going to try and find a 12 volt power source that I can use to test the starter relay but since my starter is working that wouldn't make much sense (....sorry, thinking out loud)

Any suggestions at this point would be really really helpful.

Thanks guys (and gals)

I think you're jumping ahead of yourself...

Fuel - Spark - Air(compression)

Do you have these?

Before you do anything else, check for spark on pressing the starter. If you have spark, then the electrical system is good enough for now.
Test compression - even with shit compression it should puff n' pop. (AFter that would be timing... you did just rebuild this thing with non standard parts also, so there could be a number of things here.)
Shoot some starter fluid in the chamber and see if she'll even try to purr. If your carb isn't doing it's job, then this will show you that.
