Yeah, it will backfire occasionally, and kick back through the kickstarter. I have tried starting fluid, with no luck.Hi pmachan,
Feel your pain with this bike.
When you say it is not starting is it backfiring at all or just no signs of trying to start.
Have you tried a bit of ether/starting fluid (we have "start ya bas t ard" brand here in oz). I have found with hard to start engines this can make a real difference as I can't really kick over as hard as when I was younger.
To run an engine needs fuel/air, spark and compression. Even if slightly off the engine should still give a pop out one end or the other.
Tank was drained, carb fully rebuilt with new everything last week.
It has fresh race gas.
Not a chance.Since bump starting , will it now start "normally" ??
No, the balancer gear and flywheel won't ever be lined up together. However, the balancer gear doesn't really matter, the flywheel is keyed to the crank, and when it lines up, its at true TDC, I verified with a dowel in the plug hole.Well that sucks , I am still confused about the timing marks being off , .... Another question , excluding the cam gear , can you get both the flywheel and the balancer gear to be on their marks at the same time without worrying about the cam gear ?? , like set the balancer gear , then look to see if the flywheel is on , then aligning the cam to that ?? , maybe pull the balancer gear and see if it will move 1 tooth , something is not right with this , and i think its the contributing factor for the starting , it runs , so its not off far enough for that , so maybe its just making it difficult by being off that much
I did the same thing, but still having trouble.The Timing marks do not all line up, the 07 i just picked up was same way popping and no start i check timing and when the marks are line up on clutch side bike would not start so i set cam timing to match timing marks and she fires within 2 kicks cold bike runs great and starts great hot or cold.
