Bike won't start

[jason1984]

Bike will turn over but won't start. When I try to start it sound as if there is a squeak or chirp coming from the carbs. Stranded any help ASAP would be great. If I put staring fluid in carb it fires up for a second.

Put gas value on reserve and open gas cap. Make sure spark plug wires are on good,both ends.

Sounds fuel starved. Loosen ur gas cap, check ur petcock....

And quit using the starting fluid.

Left side under the tank
It's what you use to turn fuel on and off. One carb right behind the breather. Post some pictures.

I feel for you bro but you have a lot more problems than it won't start....

 

[jason durkin]

Is the air cleaner filter clogged?? Happened to me . when I oiled my filter for some reason it just clogged it up and didn't let any air in

Sorry, but I'd do the basics first. See if you can see fuel squirting in from the carburetor when you twist the throttle. If not look for a blockage and make sure your air filter is clean. If so make sure you get a good spark maybe change the spark plugs. If you walk into a shop and tell them I don't have a clue what's wrong with it be prepared to spend a lot of money. It sounded like you were just not getting enough fuel. Don't forget to charge the battery

I have charged bat. New plugs. Fuel coming into carb air filter clean. Kinda starts when putting hand over carb and giving full throttle. But now my throttle won't go all the way

When I'm at work and I get called to a machine because it's broke down. One of the questions I ask is who fucked with what and then we go from there.
