SOURCE: 1997 yz 125 wont start, please help

2 stroke bike are very dependent on compression. and being a bike that is 12 years old my best educated guess is that the top end needs to be rebuilt. i usually have to have the top end done on my honda about every three years.

SOURCE: new top end but no compression or very little

Sounds like you have the crank to cam timing incorrect.  Also you may have the valves set too tight.  Dose it pop and sputter?

SOURCE: bike only fires once

Okay, let's have a look at it. Say Ahaaa.
The probable cause of the problem is not the spark. Get a fresh set of Stock NGK spark plugs, ground the plus to the engine, and check each cylinder for spark as the starter button is pressed for 3 seconds or so. I will wager that the spark is present.

The likely problem is the fresh gas was put into a very rusty gas tank. Bits of rust now inhabit your carb and are having fun plugging up the carb. Look at the gas valve. With a little luck there is a small bowl behind the valve. Remove it and tell me what you see in the bowl.

SOURCE: suzuki gn125 wont start. checked carb, cdi, coil.

Check the valve adjustment. If a valve is standing open just a little, the compression will be too low to start the engine. Check fuel delivery by dribbling a little gasoline into the carb and try starting the bike. If it starts and runs for a second or two, you're not getting fuel into the cylinders. Check you carb again.

I just rebuild Husqvarna K970 and it started and ran than died wont start

My thought would be immediately sheared flywheel key, it is easily done to not enter the key in the flywheel to the recess in the crank, the key is alloy and part of the flywheel itself.

1988 Oldsmobile cutlass cierra 2.8 v6 drove it then died when I hit the gas at 50mph. Turns over but won't start has compression has spark. Just won't fire up and run

Have you checked compression on more than one cyclinder? I once broke a camshaft on an old truck and it died instantly. Things looked normal at two of the cylinders but not on the others.

2006 mazda 6 wont start after it was spun out into the ditch. Was running while in the dutch and fired right up after we got it out but soon after it died and hasn't fired up since then

Start with the basics, you need 3 things to make a car run, spark, fuel, and compression, and you need those things at the right time and in the right amounts.

Car will start right up when cold go down road dies starts back up once hot shut off starts back up let it set ten min. wont start has spark has fuel pressure put new fuel pump in old pump did same thing...

Could be a relay or other electrical issue.
You say it has fuel pressure and spark, if that were true it should run.
So it either does not have enough spark to fire the plugs under compression, or not enough fuel pressure going thru the injectors, or not at the right time.
You might want to check for trouble codes in the computer.
There has to be something missing from the equation when it won't start. You may have to check all of the plugs for fire and try some carb cleaner sprayed into the intake to boost fuel supply to find the issue.

Car wont start or fire even with starting fluid

To review - - if you have spark, fuel, and compression, you should have combustion.
In this case, if the timing belt is damaged, you might not have compression or spark at the right time.
A faulty crank or cam sensor could cause you not to have spark at the right time.
The spark plugs could be worn out or fuel fouled and not able to fire under compression.
Did the car die or just not start ?

Wont start getting fire and fuel it just runs over til the batter dies

ok since you didn't give alot of information like the year and the engine
i'm going to assume that it is fuel injected
i know you said it is getting fuel did you check the fuel pressure
i know you said it has fire did you use a spark tester it may have spark but not enough to fire a spark tester
and if all that is ok fuel pressure and it will fire a spark tester then check the compression
next time the more information you can give the better chance we have of helping you

No spark?

well more questions then answers but a step closer.. good fuel pressure? check the throttle body when someone turns it over. did you try starter fluid ( put on the air cleaner for it, so it dont back fire) anyway if it runs on starting fluid then its fuel delivery system. . Basics three things to run. air, fuel, spark. you have all of these? in good supply? then look to compression and condition of dist. cap and rotor.
