Firstly check that you have a spark at the plug gap and if so is the plug wet with fuel ?If so on both counts try rubbing a pencil lead on the plugs gap ,this may sound daft but the lead from the pencil increases your sparks power five times .But only use this idea when bike fails to fire .if problem carries on check your air cleaner unit ,and if dirty change it .

Wont start

There is a screen in the tank. It may be stopped up. If the bike runs on "reserve" setting I would check that first.

It may be time for new spark plugs and some carb or injector cleaner...............I would also check plug wires and oil level due to leveling sensors built into the engine safety system.......Hope this helps.

If you are starting the bike, warming it up, and shutting it off, You have probably fouled out the spark plugs. When I worked at a dealership we stopped the practice of starting up the cycles for potential buyers because each bike would foul out 3,4,even 5 sets of plugs before it was delivered just because people wanted to hear it run.

Weak spark and than no spark

it sounds like the engine is cooking up the plug,, if a new plug gets you started again once you have fitted it, its not the bike's spark,,,its the old plug,, its burnt out,i think the carb is running vey week,, and this makes the engine run very hot,,,it could melt a piston crown !!! have you tinkerd with the exhaust pipe in any way? as this will throw the card way out of tune,,,and they sound very noise too, if you try a hotter plug in the bike it should sort out this sparking problem,,,mine eat plugs at a set a week,,,i had the wrong pipes fitted to my bike when i got it,,,

Hi, i have a 1990 honda cb1 (cb400). the problem i have is getting it started, it doesnt like starting with the choke and it seems to catch when i take my thumb off the starter button. even when the engine...

Hi!

Nahh, i dont think the problem is any wire, the problem is more lite the sparking plug or the carburettors. Is is after all a 1990 model, i dont know when you replaced the sparking plugs last time, but im sure you never cleaned the carburettors.

Try first to replace the sparking plugs,thats the easy job, if that dosent make is start easyer then you have to take the carburattors down and clean them, and thats the hard job.

Good luck
Nic
