NC24 Wont Start
Hello,
I know there is many topics on this but none of which works for my bike.
I've been trying to start it for the past few days, it wont and its been bugging me! I went out a few days ago to give her a start up and she just wouldn't fire into life.
I've tried pouring fuel into the carbs directly through the fuel tap tube. I've tried bump starting her and she still wouldn't go. I've also tried charging the battery even though it's a brand new battery.
Its not even like she wants to start just keeps turning over but no like want to spark into life. No splutters or signs she wants to live
Really at a loss what to try next and I thought this community would be most helpful to try and get her going without me having to take her straight to the garage?

Re: NC24 Wont Start
Have you tested for a spark at each plug?
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Not yet. It was only started last week so I didn't really think there would be a spark issue?thunderace wrote:Have you tested for a spark at each plug?

Re: NC24 Wont Start
Bear in mind that the coils and HT leads, if original, will be 25 years old now

Re: NC24 Wont Start
The HT leads definitely aren't original. They're aftermarket however I'm not too sure about the coils? Will get my Dad to have a look at he's an electrician so I'm sure he'll be able to tell me if they get power or not?

Re: NC24 Wont Start
This may come across as a bit rude but posting the equivalent of
"my bike doesnt work, why?" and expecting an answer without providing and details of what caused it to stop and what you've done to try and fix it really wont get you very far.
Why doesn't it work?
Who knows, could be anythign from aliens to a fox pissing in the carbs. Without some information on what happened and what you've already tried its difficult to narrow it down.
When did it last run, you mentioned new battery, why?
Why are you pouring fuel into the carbs directly? Is everything standard?
Have you checked the obvious things like kill switch.
