I have a 87 suzuki ls650 savage that will not start. help please? |
I am the second owner of this bike. I bought it only a few days ago. It has been running fine up untill today. The previous owner claims that there were never any problems with the bike. I have tried recharging the battery. Everything comes on; lights, signals, horn; everything works just fine except for when i try to start the bike. All it does is turn over. I have already tried popping the clutch in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. i havent checked the spark plug just yet as it is difficult to reach. Could i have possibly flooded the engine? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Bike 4 sale ? Is the kill switch in the run position? (right handlebar switch). Happens to everyone. Is there gas in the tank? Is the petcock turned to on? First thing to check after that stuff is the spark plugs. If they're fouled due to using the choke to much, the bike won't run. 1. Make sure the kill switch isn't "off." 2. Make sure there's gas in it. 3. Ask the guy for a refund. You should expect problems with a 20 yr old bike, but not in the first few days. Long shot, but also try putting it in neutral, pulling the clutch in, and putting the sidestand up. I dunno what safety mechanisms are on that model, but it's worth a shot, nonetheless. Check the oil level, too, while you're at it. I would start simple, pull the fuel line form the petcock, make sure fuel is flowing through the fuel line, if it is, change the spark plug, as long as it's getting spark, I assume you know how to check for spark, if not, ask me. If there's no spark, most likely you'll need a new coil, very east fix, hope this helps a little. Starting fluid and wire drier. Two cans every gear-head has. Squirt some starting fluid into the air intake. If it has spark, it will fire off. This will eliminate spark as your problem. Squirt wire drier into the ignition enclosure (providing you have an enclosure with moving parts). This eliminates moisture shorts as your problem. You, on the other hand, are no gear head because: 1. You bought a bike with inaccessible spark plugs. (A big "Doh"!) 2. You're not willing to do what it takes to access the spark plugs. Now turn your fuel valve to "reserve" because you're low on gas. It will start now. . |
