So, New to me 2001. Bought it recently. It started and ran as soon as 3 weeks ago. Previous owner trailered it to my place.
The bike will crank and crank till the battery dies but just won't catch.
Some things I've tried.
1. Beating on peacock and carbs and kill switches with a mallet. Lightly
2, Starting fluid into the air box with the air filter removed. Had zero effect.
3. Jumping off a car battery. Made it crank faster, but still no start.
4. Setting peacock to prime for a couple of mins then back to on.
I did notice today while trying to jump the bike. If I have it in 1st and pull clutch in, the starter will cause the bike to move. Not sure if that's normal
For anyone that says "check plugs" how would I do that?
Any help is appreciated.
