New to spree's need diagnostic help - no start
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2018 5:11 pm
So i bought a "customized" spree for lack of a better term...maybr haggardis a better adjective. Anyway im having a no start issue. I have googled and read through countless posts trying to figure this out. Im prett mechanically inclined and have been building and modifying cars for the past 15+ years.
Onto the issue. Bought the bike wouldnt start. Figured out it was missing some vital components. Craigslist hooked me up with a local guy with the needed parts. And aftermarket cdi and a regulator i had detemined was faulty beause as soon as i'd pkug it in the fuse would blow. I install the two parts and a new battery and she fires right up. Drive it around my yard for about 2 min as it has no intake. I make a temporary intake with a sobi bottle with numerous holes drilled in it and then cover it with a bew sock. Several test rips get the right amount of holes to run right and idle well. And i park it for the night.
The next day....no start. I have been over wiring, checked spark, checked for fuel, new plug, compression check, cleaned the carb, checked the crank seal visualy, charged up the battery, tried manually adding fuel... im am stumpped. Just turns over and over and never catchs. Any idea? Could a bad cdi cause it? Although the spark plug is firing so i dont tink thats it. About to give up
