Have you checked Compression with a tester ??
I would suspect wrong cam timing and bent valves

maybe the rear brake switch , or, case/electrical earth problem , any wire connectors etc ?? A new plug and cleaning the internal plug thread may help and on an outside curve ....i'd check the camchain / camchain tensioner has'nt done one ...or two or three teeth .
check the decompresion lever/valve/cable if fitted .
good luck. ____________________ nearly a normal tax paying tosser.......with ferrileness suzi100,cg125,cb125scb100n,cb175,cd100,cj250t,kh250,c15,125 bantam,super 6,rickman gs750,xt500,250rs,dt175,lifan125,dolomite1850,metro,Morris220ld,morrisfg,leyland princess,range rover,corsa,vw camper .now struggling with legs.

Still not had time to get stuck in faultfinding.
I have a spark when I earth a spare plug to engine and turn the engine over with the starter motor, so I can't see that any electrical problems are preventing starting.
Haven't touched timing chain tensioner, and whilst I had the cover off I observed the relatively new timing chain that my friend and previous owner of the bike had fitted, all looked as it should.
I have to put my hands up and say that I haven't as yet removed the spark plug
I tried to remove the plug when I bought the bike from my friend in August but found it very tight, and not wanting to shear the plug off in the head I thought it would be wise to leave it for the moment and try again after I had used the bike for some time and see if the heat might free it up somewhat. readers of my previous posts will know that the bike had been standing for 2 years in a builder yard unloved and neglected until I bought it and lavished it with lots of care and necessary new parts. I have had another try recently to remove the plug but I still feel that the plug is too tight and I don't want to shear it off in the head and then have to remove the head to deal with it.
I will of course have to deal with this at some point, and it looks like my hand has now been forced as the heating/cooling cycles haven't done the trick!
I will try some easy start tomorrow , this time on the carb' side of the air filter, unlike my last attempt spraying it though the underseat apperture.
Many thanks for all your contributions, they are much appreciated.

Remove plug, squirt some petrol directly into bore, replace plug and try to start it. ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

The last post was made 5 years, 163 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
