fecking 2 stroke

[Kawksam]

i washed the kawasaki kh100 and after wards she wouldn't start for love or hope, fiddled with carb and checking stuff managed to get it running and then died off and wouldnt start again afterwards plug was wet, dryed and it would start die and not start, made a loud bang and end cone flew off again.

left it several hours started first time idles and ran fine for 30 mins went into tesco and wouldnt start again plug was wet changed plug still no start and had to push it home.

any clues before i set fire to it

Did any water get into the airfilter?
and i assume its dried out, but from what you said id say no:)

i suppose you could remove the plug and leave it out .

other than that it could be water in the electricals(time and electronic contact cleaner)

sounds like pure joy!

if all else fails, start and leave to idle for as longs as you can,so to really get the heat going.

Pics of end cone please !

Sounds like its running rich and plug fowling. Try a new plug for a start and get the mixture right.

think its running rich but plug was chocolate brown when working, how would i go about that after 2nd kick the plug is wet

May have filled the cylinder with water when your engine was on it's intake stroke may have taken in water from the air filter, water not being combustible causing the plug to be wet and not fire.

take the plug out, if you have starter on bike crank it over for 20 seconds and with the spark plug removed look at the cylinder when turning over to see if anything comes out the cylinder. once you have done that, leave plug out and let the cylinder dry and also the plug dry and you should be fine

Hope this helps

just seems to be fuel flooding it at moment not water, but ill check the settings and leave the plug out

It'll be water ont the plug leads causing a short and crappy spark.

Spray all the electrics between the coil and plug with copious quantities of number forty water displacing fluid (WD40). When this fixes it, you know you need a new HT lead and possibly plug cap

^ this sounds pretty on the money --- if you were getting serious amounts of water in your cylinder, the result wouldn't be difficult starting, it'd be an apparent seizure or possibly even a cracked head/piston/block.

Whereas I've had enough trouble with ageing HT leads in the past, when they've met with excess moisture. Brand new ones are damn near waterproof, old ones are very porous. And can be further damaged by rubbing on exposed hard/sharp parts, I found out earlier (...time to break out the electrical tape and get a fresh lead on order for the cg...)

Keep it simple and start with the air filter.

If it is the airfilter wet of the plug leads damp they should soon dry out if you leave the bike in the sun for a while.
