Broken selector claw spring

Check the (vacuum controlled) fuel valve.

Move the fuel valve selector (reserve / main and back few times) to rule out fuel valve diaphragm plate problem.

Today's methonal fuel can cause problem on plastic part inside the valve.


Use small amount of starting fluid to aid starting,

remove the plugs then crank

when i ride the coolent light comes on and the bike dies turn of the key and turn on and the bike goes again, if the bike sits and idles it,s all OK

Find a way to check for spark when this occurs, CV carbs don't vapor lock. get back with me.
also wher is you ignition switch located?

Ok, a two stroke engine basicly needs 3 things to run: fuel, compression and ignition.

First, check that the fuelline, fuelfilter, or fueltap is not blocked. If the fuelflow is alright, check that the compression is fine. try kicking the kickstarter a few time: the should be a certain resistance.If the compression is wrong try changing the headgasket. If it is alright, check the ignition. This is done by taking the sparkplug out at placing it on the frame, when you kick the kickstarter a spark should jump from the sparkplug to the frame.

But my guess would be that you have a partly blocked fuelsystem.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, have you checked the 30 Amps main fuse and its holder clips? It would be integrated with the starter relay. The fuse or the fuse holder may have heat related problem(s) causing it to loose conductivity when hot.The fuse may require replacement even if it tests good and/or the fuse holder would need cleaning / crimping. To locate the starter relay (main fuse), follow the battery cable from the + terminal of the battery.

Please postback results.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
