Sanya 125 not starting! Help!?

[Davemassey]

Hi guys and girls,

New here and new to bikes, bought myself a sanya sy125-11. Was running when I bought it but recently I've tried starting it with no luck, I've changed the coil for a brand new one, new plug but I don't seem to be getting a spark, also when I'm turning it over the plug never seems to get wet so I'm assuming no fuel either? I've taken the carb apart and fully cleaned it, taken the kill switch apart and cleaned contacts...can anyone help? I'm at my wits end now!

Thanks

Dave

start with basics has the battery gone flat are lights horn and indicators working if not chances are the battery is flat so check that first

[mas101]

real basics - is there fuel and is the fuel tap on - not off or reserve?

If you are 'new to bikes', I assume you are a mechanic as a 'newbie' would not contemplate stripping and rebuilding a carb!

No Spark - Check: Battery voltage - Kill Switch - In Neutral - Side Stand Switch - Ignition Switch - Coil - CDI / Contacts - Wiring Loom.

Dry Plug - Check: Fuel in tank - Tap on and fuel entering Carb - Fuel exiting Carb - Engine not 'seized'.
