my yamaha pw 80 wont start.it will make a popping sound when i kick it a few times but it still wont start and its not the spark plug i put a new 1 on it

Answer 1

it is most proberly the fuel the main jet is proberly blocked. there is a series of things it could be first i would make sure it has spark, also did you put the right spark plug in and is the plug gap right if you got that right then make sure it is getting fuel take the carby of and clean it blow out the jets make sure there not blocked then clean your air filter then put new fuel in it, the fuel might have gone stale and putting fresh fuel in it could help it start if it wants to ok try all this and if it still doesn't go then, your valves might be out or you might not have enouph compression so you might have worn rings there are so many things it could be and 3 things the bike needs to start are (fuel, spark and compression i hope i helped good luck

Answer 2

Always give "year" make engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
If the bike's more than a few years old, it probably needs a top end rebuild (cylinder, piston & rings).
Little engines ware out fast.
Clean the carb - the pilot jet may be clogged.

Answer 3

when you put in the new plug did you verify you had spark? if not go back n see.you could put in a box of plugs if you have a bad cdi. other than that ...fuel system is about the only thing left. might have gunk in the jet in the carb.

Answer 4

With a screen name like Pastrana I would guess that you would know that the plug is fouled out.

Travis - you should know this MAN>>>>>>
