Before storing my bike for the winter it would require a shot of ether to start when cold, fine when warm. After storage I have fresh gas, good spark and the bike will not start. The engine will turn but wont start. Battery is charged. Every once and awile it will backfire if I try to use ether but not every time.
The floats in the carb are stuck. you can try lightly tapping on the carb with a screwdriver that should do the trick.
hello again you say the floats are brand new.when u took them apart again was there gas in there?
you must have no spark then.ether makes everything go pop.
hey again the next time you take out the plugs spray a little carb cleaner in each cyclinder. just a little. then put the plugs back in and tell me if i goes pop then.

I appreciate your suggestion but the floats are all brand new and crystal clean, I did open the carb and check after you made that suggestion to see if they did gum up a little but they are still brand new
yes there was ample gas in the bowls and when i put it all together the fuel pump did refil it
I may add that it will not even fire with ether or pop start
I have pulled out every spark plug numerous time's to prove to friends and held it to metal and there was spark from each, this is why i am stumped, i have air, gas, and spark all the equation for as you said pop
ok today i went and got new plugs and still nothing but they are all sparking granted better than the others but still nothing :(
ok after some tinkering and major cleaning of the carbs it finaly started after a bit. But now the rpm sound louder than they should be and it seems to have less nut. My friend says it may be the manifold gasket i was wondering if you had any thoughts about it ?
will not start does it need fresh gas or what we have fire but bike will not start what do i do
