So my bike just sputtered to a hault the other day, and wouldn't start up again. no fuel was coming out of the petcock so i ordered a new one. Didnt change anything. I totally cleaned out the carb, and nothing, same problem. So I go look if im getting spark and I'm not, so I test the wires going into my coil and nothing....I'm lost and need help

it could a number of so many things,
look at the fuse coming right off the battery, actually just replace it anyways, with a better 'holder' and fuse.
could be a ground wire, came loose
could be the plug, the plug wire, the CDI.
the stator
could be the battery.
need to get out the multimeter and start checking

A new cdi will probably fix it. The cdi fails more often than anything else. Putting a new coil on is also not a bad idea.

I'll follow up with asking whether or not you're getting any fuel with the new petcock AND what the condition of your vacuum lines are in? Having no spark is only half of it, no fuel and no fire.

Agree with scootercapecod, if you are not getting fuel with a new petcock there is a vacuum problem. Maybe your motor sucked a valve. No compression = no vacuum. Test the new petcock by pulling the vacuum line off the intake manifold and gently suck on the end of it and see if fuel flows from the petcock. If it does pull the sparkplug and check compression. When checking for spark make sure the end of the sparkplug is firmly resting on bare metal, like the valve cover. Also make sure there is a good ground wire connection between the engine case and the frame, and the frame and the battery. |

As far as the fuel issue goes it could be something in the tank keeping the fuel from coming out, plastic bits have been found in tanks causing something like that to happen.
Still if he is getting no spark it would not be a fuel or valve problem. He already ordered the cdi and coil, mght as well try them because they can kill the spark.

you need to check each thing one at a time so you will be able to tell if you have feul or spark issue jumping around at things will make it harder to find the problem

The new parts may restore the spark, and I hope they do. But since he was saying he still isn't getting fuel through the new petcock I was floating solutions for THAT issue. You are right, could be something in the tank blocking delivery. |
