My raider won't start :[ #888203 05/31/08 03:20 PM

So, it's been a while since i've worked on it, it's sitting in my drive way (With 35's on it)

For whatever reason when it ran out of gas, it's never been the same. We though since it sat for so long maybe it got clogged, but their is plenty of suction everywhere. It's getting gas to itself.

It won't start, you can hear it almost firing, but it won't. We found out that the coil was bad, and replaced that, which helped but it still would not get it to fire. You can hear it almost firing, but it won't.

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Nick,

1. Change the fuel filter and blow out the fuel supply line from the tank.
2. Check the firing order of the ignition wires, check inside the cap for corrosion.
3. Check the ballast resistor mounted next to the coil.
4. Is the choke working?

Start with the basics.

Did #1 already, and yes the choke is working.

Don't know about #3, I think it is firing order to be honest, but haven't had enough time to look into it. I'll try and look at those two, and see if it's that.
