Honda xr70r dirt bike won't start?

My brothers xr70 randomly stopped working and has been sitting here for a while. I can't seem to get the gas lid to open so I can't see if it has gas or not. I put it in neutral and tried to start it but she doesn't wanna work with me. I'm not really sure what I should try. Suggestions? (NOT GOING TO A ENGINEER BECAUSE I'm TRYING TO SELL HER)

Either drop your price & sell as is or find someone that knows what they're doing & fix it.

Spray some starting fluid in the carb. And see if it starts for a few seconds, if it does then you have a fuel problem. Your going to have to get the gas cap off in order to be able to put gas in it or know what your dealing with. You can take the gas line off where it goes into the carb. And see if its getting gas to the carb. Atleast.

If the fuel cap can't come off easily than the fuel tank moisture-laden fuel in it, time to rebuild the full fuel system, TOP to BOTTOM.
Or sell it as is for next to nothing.

First, get the gas cap off… If you aren't willing to do that, then just dump it for what you can get for it (not much).

Loosen the drain screw in the carb to check if there's fuel. And you really need to find a way to get the gas cap off.

If it's out of gas, it won't start.
Take the gas cap off.
No one will buy it if the gas cap is stuck on.

It's out of gas.

  • Why won't this bike start? I just replace the cdi, stator, rectifier, plugs and petcock on my 1989 honda vtr250. I'm getting fuel and spark and it still won't start What could be the issue
  • 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?

  • Dirt Bike won't start Bought a 1984 Honda xr200 yesterday, when buying it the guy started it and I test rode it and it was running fine. Brought it home in the back of my truck and accidentally left the gas on. I filled it up with straight gas (I think 4 strokes take straight not mixed) and when I tried to kick start it, it wouldn't start… Please help
