RS 125 WONT START!/HELP? PT2

[stirlinggaz]

Hi all,
after all the problems i had with 34mm carb, i gave up & put standard carb back on.
bike started 1st time!
so i guess batterys ok! (see previous posts)
bike ran idling for a while,
while i tightened up everything.
nipped indoors for helmet so i could go for a test run,
& when i came back out, it had conked out!
checked carb bowl, full of petrol, but floats look ok.
epmtied it, cleaned it & put carb back on.
now wont start,
coughs now & again but nothing else.
any ideas?
checked obvious,
kill switch,
battery,
petrol in tank.
so what next?
any advice/suggestions welcome,
cheers,
GAZ

hi,
carbs been stripped & cleaned.
fuel line is ok- petrol comes out when it is disconnected from carb.
any other ideas?
cheers,

If your spark plug is wet then this indicates that fuel is not necessarily the problem. Try a new spark plug (correctly gapped) and see if 1. there is a spark. 2. if it will run.
Good luck

Hi,
tried another spark plug (exact same type)
getting spark cos i checked it against frame.
but bike still wont start!
ready for giving up & either throwing it in river across road or stripping it down & selling parts!
anyone else help/advise?
cheers,
GAZ
