    Won’t start after a wash

    Boys… we did it. Yesterday after I drained the bowls, I let it sit until just now. Then I double checked spark with some leftover plugs I had sitting around, put them in, same result, switched the connectors on that side of the engine… magic. I hadn’t switched this at any point in my ownership...

    Okay just fiddled with each of those bowl screws, each bowl is getting gas. Petccok is on PRI. Double checked all the spark plug connection screws and they’re on tight or reference the right side of the engine is not firing. Left two exhaust do warm up.

    Update. Still nothing. Will start in neutral with starter fluid. Ins not running on all cylinders don’t really know what to do anymore. How do I ensure each cylinder gets running.

    Another update. Rode it in first, I don’t know what I did to get it into first. Rode it a little and it’ll not getting all of my cylinders, i had this issue a couple months ago but fixed it and now it’s back. Was told this is a curling issue most likely, what does this mean?

    Won’t start after a wash

    Okay - update! Got bike started again in neutral with starter fluid. Again I got the issue with it not letting me get into first, as soon as it happens - engine dies. I don’t understand a lot of what is in the post above but it sounds like that may be the issue. Can anyone elaborate?

    Won’t start after a wash

    It did do it more than once. Then the battery died, charging it up right now and I’m gonna try again after I hit a good lift. Pods were also put back on so the pods are not the issue. Again just to break it down -put the pods back on -starter fluid -started in neutral -went into first the died...

    Pretty much yes to everything above. Started in neutral, let it idle for a little and warm up with choke out, gradually put choke back in, revd it a little and it sounded fine. Doesn’t idle in first. Had it in N, clutch in, went down to first and died. No jolt, just died

    Just started it up with starter fluid, got a couple of pops as to be expected. As soon as I put it into first it dies. Whats the common senses with that?

    Maybe? Still a noob in the moto world. Where/what would the carb vents look like? I was pretty cautious when washing but I didn’t get the engine area pretty heavily, wrapped the pods with towels and made sure nothing got in there

    Where would the ignitor be? Or anything Tom203 referenced?

    Won’t start after a wash

    Will look into that, I need them to be pretty short lengthwise to fit but I will figure that out. Trust me getting that cheap China crap outta there is on the list. Should I use starter fluid? For reference it is cranking, and the first time I try periodically it gives me one or two ‘catches’ I...

    Won’t start after a wash

    Yes they are cheap china pods. I just tried taking them off and starting, no dice. They’re on my list for next to buy, but I needed something fast and cheap initially. as Mentioned just tried starting it again, it gave me a little feedback as far as sound and it sounds like it almost started...

    I’m gonna try again in a few hours, this will be about 48 hours after the wash…. Really nervous as I fell in love with this bike quick, there is a picture on my profile but here is an updated snapshot.

    Won’t start after a wash

    My bike was riding wonderfully, and I wanted to treat it to a nice wash. I didn’t go too crazy and just used a low presser garden hose for the most part and only got what needed to be cleaned in the engine area. Nothing else. The bike has battery and cranks, has spark, field system is fine, and...

    Having some general issues, help?

    I got an 81 Suzuki gs650 late last year. Im brand new to the moto world and recently got my license. I have a decent amount of work on it. I cleaned the gas tank (gs1100 tank) with vinegar and then gave it a fresh black and red paint job with aftermarket badges. I changed headlight, added sweet...
