I am working on a 1994 kawasaki vulcan 88 1500. I got it to turn over but it wont stay started. When it tries to start flame comes out the tail pipe

SOURCE: no start

Make sue\re to add fresh gasoline to the fuel tank and make sure it is entering thr carb.

Its Starter relay may be causing main problem. You can try Yezdis starter relay as it can help you solving your problem

check starter solenoid.see if getting power to starter side when pressing button .if yes check if power to starter w/ test light when pressing button.if power there check starter,also motor, will it turn manually or is it seized.if no power to starter side of solenoid, jump across solenoid posts w/ a large screwdriver -motor will probaly turn over,w/ key on.if small wire to solenoid has power when pressing start,solenoid bad,if no power, wiring or start button bad.

SOURCE: alot ofwhite smoke coming from tail pipe

Not sounding good if white smoke, usually indicates coolant into cylinders via bad head gasket or head, maybe intake leak, or piston rings gone. You, or someone didn't overfill oil by chance did you?
What's mileage & did you have any warning signs or did this just happen all of a sudden.

You may be having detonation. Switch to premium gas. Do not use gas with Ethanol. Change to a new spark plug > NGK DP8EA-9. Run through a couple of tanks of gas and see if the problem has gone away.
