Hey guys so my dirt bike won't start.

I had it going yesterday after i put in a brand new spark plug. I got it out today to go riding and it won't start.

I've checked the spark plug and its tanned, dry and sparking well.

I just fitted a brand new mikuni Vm26 carb. and a fuel line filter.

I have no idea why it would just stop working overnight?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

Have you checked the silly things like :
fuel tap
fuel in the tank
blocked filter

Sounds like you need to get the Mixture set up on the new carb you put on Wink

Me thinks that you should set the pilot screw to one and a half turns out.
