she cranks but wont turn over.

wolfo68 · Apr 3, 2012

Well, she's back together and I got her to fire once but she died right away. I figured I had flooded her or something but I can't get it to go again.

Think I just need new plugs or any other ideas to what my problem could be?

GRAB HER BY THE HAIR, AND FLIP THAT BITCH OVER ON TO HER BACKSIDE!!

GOduc · Apr 3, 2012

ok got my two cents out of the way, haha, sorry couuldn't resist

you said you did some different pistons ya?

wolfo68 · Apr 3, 2012

yep, but I don't believe that'd keep it from catching.

GOduc · Apr 3, 2012

fuel pump's ok? injectors? coil pack? plug wires? reset static timing?

wolfo68 · Apr 3, 2012

all were okay when I tore her down, I didn't reset the timing since I didn't change anything on the cam side this time.

GOduc · Apr 3, 2012

hmmmm, gotta find out if youre not getting spark, or not gettin fuel, or both, then use process of elimination from there

wolfo68 · Apr 3, 2012

I'm almost positive I fouled the plugs, simply because it fired once and killed itself. And I haven't changed the plugs the entire time I've had it.

And I haven't changed the plugs the entire time I've had it.

[up]that sounds like a good place to start! haha

check connectors under right side in front of pulley

wolfo68 · Apr 23, 2012

I accidentally put in the two plugs I hadn't gapped." frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

wolfo68 · Apr 23, 2012

now it just dies when I put it on the kickstand or try to put it in gear.

TPS reset?

wolfo68 · Apr 23, 2012

tps reset won't fix that problem.

wolfo68 · Apr 23, 2012

I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have the tip over sensor secured to anything and the kickstand switch wire hasn't been connected to itself as a bypass yet.

wolfo68 · Apr 23, 2012

Got her running, disabled the kickstand switch and took her for a spin. I'm pretty sure I tightened the clutch cable a little much, but I can easily fix that. And I need to disable the tip over sensor.

I'm glad you are getting it up and running. I was worried a bit when I read your title. But you must have meant "won't fire" not won't "turn over". LOL That would be really serious if your motor was locked up after a rebuild.
Almost time to get out and ride now[up]
be safe

Why 9 pistons. Am i missing something

wolfo68 · Apr 24, 2012

I couldn't find 12 pistons for a decent price and the 9's up the compression to 12:1 for a bit more power.

I still have a few minor things that need to be done, like clutch adjustment and more precise tuning, but those shouldn't take too terribly long.

1badtitan90 · Apr 24, 2012

Yea. Well sounds good.. lets us know if the pistons are better

she cranks but wont turn over.
