I think I found the problem... it's the petcock

Exactly what it says on the tin. Either a contributing factor, or the cause to it not starting. Earlier, I tried to start my bike. No joy. Then I pulled the fuel line from the petcock and tried again. It started right up and ran with what fuel was in the carburetor. Hooked up the fuel line again, and it refused to turn over.

You sure that you got fuel hose from petcock on correct fitting?image.jpg

Yes I do. I just put everything back together. I took a picture of the carburetor before I took it apart the first time, so I have a comparison.

Define "turn over".

Define "turn over".

"Turn over" as in pull an immediate 180 in defiance of physics. This is normally supposed to happen, but if the Helsinki smash rods are damaged, forget about it.
Lol I mean "turn over" as in start. It'll crank, but not catch and run.

[tom203]

Crank it over abit, and then remove a couple of spark plugs and inspect....dry? Wet?

If it's a vacuum petcock then I've suffered your pain before. I'd be riding down the road with a full tank and it would start to die, I'd switch to prime and it would run all day. Pulled that petcock and found it broken inside. Replaced with the same style and same thing. This was a cheap replacement. My learning experience.
So, I swapped petcocks to an old style.

And it's "crank, no start"
When one says "wont turn over" most guru's think electrical, not fuel. Or, you have a lazy dog...
