76 honda xl350 won't start?
I'm working on my honda xl350. The engine has compression(I don't have a gauge but I can definitely feel it in the kickstarter), spark, , clean air filter, and fuel(spark plug was wet). Any idea why I can't start it? I also made sure it wasn't flooded.
Clean/replace points and condenser.
All things need to jib.
Is the spark clean and a sharp crispy blue?
Is it getting too much fuel? Wet plug.
Is the spark and TDC at par with each other?
Do you have a Sop Manual?
If not get one.
Spark plug gap set correctly?
Blue / purple coloured spark? (This indicates a good strong spark).
Check the actual compression, lash vavles, set timing, check spark, check carb float level and clean.
One thing you did NOT tell us is WHAT "Work" have you been doing on the bike. Was it running well BEFORE you worked on it? Certainly this information would be helpful in determining more accurately what is going on. Peace.
- My 1983 Honda nighthawk 650 won't start with the electric start? I recently replaced the ignition coils because the old ones were getting heat soaked and the bike would die, however now the bike won't start with the electric start it turns over fin and the starter sounds fine but it won't start occasionally it ll start when it's cold or try to but I've been having to bump start it in order to ride it. So what's making it do this? Could it be the kill switch? Or something else?
- I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
- I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
- How come my atv won't electric start but will crank if I push start it? 2006 Honda trx. Doesn't have a pull rope only electric start. The starter motor turns over the engine but just won't start but I'll push it down the yard with it in gear and it will fire right up. I'm so confused by this.
