No start

[Waevi]

Won’t start. New carb, working spark plug, I feel compression when I drop the clutch and pull the throttle it sounds like it’s trying to start but just doesn’t. Any ideas or suggestions?

Did you try the choke? Is there fuel in the carb?

How have you tried to "diagnose" the problem? Start with ignition. Are you getting spark? If not, then check the cdi and the magneto. If so, the go to fuel and carb.... to much gas, not enough gas.... My simple minded diagnostic track.

combustion triangle.. heat (spark plug), fuel (fuel), and oxygen (air).

I have spark, carb has fuel. Starting to think the clutch pads are worn or something. When I drop the clutch my back wheel can still move a little and it doesn’t always move the engine

Bike making an out of gas feeling noise when starting and then dieing. Any thoughts? If it helps, it's also dieing every time I lay off the throttle. Why?

Did you replace the kit plug with a NGK? NGK B6HS to be exact.

YES

Check for air leak between the carb and manifold. A sudden dying is usually caused by electrical issue.

Ok so I think I found the solution. I had the carb barrel too far out so the needle wasn't going all they way to the bottom. Though now it's not making a out of gas sound it won't start after dumping the clutch. I am running a racing carb with no choke so that might be it?
