Blata Rep Trouble

[Reaper1721]

hey,
I have a recently built blata rep which will not start...i get a few coughs when i give it some aerostart straight through the carbie but thats it...

its basically stock, except its been ported and matched...whats wrong with my bike?

I've never heard a blata rep run

maby a fuel block age take the carbie off clean it all than make sure your idle jet and main jet arn't blocked put it back on check for spark if no spark check coil gap (should be a busnis card gap off the fly wheel) ut choke on give it 2 slow pulls than try start it if it still dosnt start pull the plug out and see if wet if so leave it out and wait for the fuel in the motor to dry up before you try it again

[Reaper1721]

carby was completely cleaned out, including jets, already checked just in case...gets a spark, although, it doesnt look too strong

[barnsey]

chuck a some fuel down the plug hole a bout a coke bottle cap full than put the spark plug back in and try it

[Reaper1721]

ok, ill be back in bout 5 mins with either good or bad news

[Crash Dummy]

You say the spark is weak ? Is it a blue spark or orange ?

[Reaper1721]

yea, spark is weak, and blue...it looks as if its not always sparking...like, not every revolution

and bj#5...no success

[Crash Dummy]

Reaper. The spark is meant to be blue.
First thing i'd do is chuck a fresh spark plug in and try start it. If it still won't kick pull the plug and have a look at it. If it's wet the crankcase is probably flooded. I've seen this happen heaps of times and the engine just refuses to start.

[Reaper1721]

what do i do if its flooded?

[barnsey]

wait untill it diries out
