so bikes fully rebuilt now washed it etc the other day b4 it was all back 2geather, finished it all of yesterday by puting panels etc back on and took it around the block just for it to die on me :/ then it wont start so i play around with the plug and keep kicking it to get it going again start of bak down ther street and BLRGHHHHH again :/ does any1 no what the problem could be cuz im ready get my lump hammer out and have done with it lol sorry for the essay.. oh and iv stripped carb refitted it theres still no change an iv checked the air filter??
it is sparking couldnt say how well though and the plug is cuming out wet, im thinking it could be the plug or mayb the coil :/ it runs and then floods its self .. not sparking fast enuff causing it to flood itself?
Hmm... I assume when you says its flooding, you dont mean that the carb is actually flooding, but it runs, stops, you try and start it and the plug is coming out wet.
This could well be an ignition problem if that is the case. Maybe when you washed it you got water in the electrics? Check the CDI and coil and the plug cap to make sure they are not wet. Was it something you did during the rebuild? Are all the connectors pushed home properly (sorry for asking the obvious).
A problem we had the other day was that the bike would run and stop, run and stop and when we took the plug out immediately after it stopped there was no spark. Turned out it was a broken cable from the pick up off the flywheel that made contact sometimes. Pure luck that we found it as it wasnt obvious where the break was.
Maybe just try a different plug?
Good luck - intermittent problems are a pain in the ar*e to sort. Youve just go to try different things.
