Mk5Centurion Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Regular viewers of this space might have seen my ZZR undergoing a wee bit of work:http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... =5&t=28025This was meant to be the weekend when "it" all came together, bodywork, exhausts, accessory circuit etc. I must admit to suffering from a bit of hubris though as the bloody thing wont start now. It was running fine a few weeks back as i'd bought and refurbished a set of new (from a scrappy) carbs, new battery and new plugs. All the cables have been lubed (GT-85) and the ends greased. I put the battery back in today with some fuel and nowt. Starter is turning over but nada - its almost like there's no spark but its got 4 new ones in it.I'm wondering if its something electrical that i've fecked up rewiing my heated grips and accessory circuit.Rant over - fed up!

Guest Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Have u tried taking the sparks out and leaving them on the engine casing to check if they're sparking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk5Centurion Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'll double check the spark plugs but they're new and were working fine.The tank was off and drained for the last few weeks, the tap has a prime button so i primed it after i popped some fuel in the tank......I'll get another look on monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
