Got spark, plug wet, no start... ***UPDATE***

[Snowdonia Rider]

My EXC 250 4T died on me last week (whilst up a bleeding mountain!), after a bit of inspection I tested the coil with a multimeter and it was dead. Anyway, new coil, spark plug cap and spark plug have been fitted. I get a spark, the plug is wet, but the bike wont start. Any ideas? Carb issue causing too much fuel so flooding the bike? My mechanical skills are limited and if possible I don't want to take the bike to my local garage as I've spent enough on this bike this year and when I take it there it's there for ages. I won't attempt dismantling the carb myself as the way my luck goes I'll catastrophically fuck something up!

Thought it was worth asking here first to see if I can avoid the garage!

What colour is the spark and can you hear a little crack?
Can you see or smell fuel ?
Have you tried EASYSTART spray with air filter removed no choke and half throttle ?

The plug shouldn't be wet => flooded.

Dry the plug off with a lighter/blowtorch and try again. If it still won't start and comes out wet again, you've got overfuelling issues.

Could be the carb float saturated, corroded, out of adjustment etc, or dirt allowing the carb to flood.
If you're a bit clueless on carbs, watch some youtubes on basic lawnmower ones to get an idea of the basic functioning parts.

Bit of an update. It's the stator. Best price I can find new is £165, so if anyone knows of a better price or a used one with some kind of warranty then let me know It's a '02 EXC 250 Racing.

The stator has nothing to do with running the engine. How have you come to that conclusion?

Stator makes power for the CDI...

loved your local video's!!

i dont know this bike at all, but you say you have ht and a wet plug.

does the carb etc flood??

how is it with a new clean dry gapped plug??

any hint of firing at all??

checked ht with plug in with a red neon plug cap?? cheap easy and visual check for ht in the real world.

can you post a picture of the genny and rotor.

so fuel in correct amount, ht, but still will not run?

i presume the engine can "breath"?

Is the genny rote flywheel key sheared, would be a relatively early check for me, as its possible and cheap/easy to check.

you have a stobe so can check firing point/ign timing, yes.

actually test rule that one out, as you have ht, but it may be happening at the wrong time. It does happen.

what was the nature of the death??

up in the hills, so some fuel used, fuel problem??

but rule in or rule out the ign timing and strenght of ht, the red neon loight "growing brighter" with increased engine speed.

yes i know the engine wont run, but it can be made to turn, even faster by pushing in gear, or going down all our steep welsh hills eh.

without giving the game away, uni, radio mast and windfarm make any sense?

that's a big lake over there!

2t engine? so no cam chain to break.

just poodling along and dies, no spluttering or misbehaving, just dies instantly, you sure you didnt move the kill switch!! it does happen!!

seems electrical, so check flywheel key, or timing marks at least, "fire" mark on flywheel close to tdc or way off??

post a pic of the genny/flywheel/rotor etc..
syniad dda? gog. fel ni
