make sure that the spark is happening when it is supposed to. also check to be sure that you have the right plugs and gap. this might be a good place to start. |

HEY ATTEXYEARUNNOWN:
to start your engine you should have:
a) fuel on cylinder
b) good compression
b) good spark on right time
so check the follow:
a) do you have good quality gasoline?? ( no water or dirt on it???)
b) take out plugs and put over plug's hole your thumb...turn engine...if ok you should "feel" air pressure and warm air temp due to compression feature....
c) your spark is blue???yellow spark means bad spark plug, or coil, or point, or cdi (electronic module)...
if above check list is ok maybe your flywheel key is brocken and your engine loose proper timming...
happy search!!! |

Take an old contact solution bottle , clean it and fill it with fuel (and oil). This works very well to squirt it into the carb with the throttle wide open. That's how I got mine fired for the first time. I have the enricher valve on my carbuerators and it does not seem to help with the starting. Squirt some fuel into the carb and try it. If it doesn't start try it one more time. If it doesn't start after the second squirt, change the spark plugs and try it again.Hope it helps. If it does run for a little bit and dies after the squirted fuel runs out, I would pull the carb and look for dirt. If you pull the carb off and apart, check the float level also. |

I assume this is a 2-stroke. First thing to do is get new spark plugs. A good engine will be junk when the plugs are fouled. My 440 wouldn't hit at all with the old plugs in it. I got some new plugs and it started right up.

* first replace spark plug
* open point section and pour wd-40...also file it a little to take our carbon
* check intermitent 6 volt from point cable to positive of coil when turning the engine
hapy search!!! |

check coils and condition of plug wires (replace). start from the easy and work your way towards other possible larger troubles. often simple problems are overlooked. an atv shop can run a test to tell you for sure if your coils are bad. this won't help with a spark but it wouldn't be a bad idea to put in a new main and pilot jet. chances are that you'll need them. |
