Bike Has Spark But Wont Fire

Featured Replies

I have new fuel, a good spark and a clean carb. But my bike just will not start or even fire either with choke on or off.

Has it been parked up with petrol switched on and flooded the engine? Is the spark plug wet?

Going over your older posts, your bike has been:

Difficult to start and only starting with an open throttle.

Revings it's self up when idling.

And now won't start at all, yet it has fuel and a spark.

 

Time for a leak down test.

Basically you bung the intake and exhaust up and see if the crankcase and cylinder hold some pressure.
