After a year with no ATC at all, finally I'm back in the game! Bought a Yamaha 225dx yesterday, although I does have me kind of puzzled.

It started and ran fine when I picked it up, however the rear tires were shot so I didn't ride it.
Loaded it up and brought it home, slapped tires on it.
Now it doesn't want to start... tried choking it, tried opening the air box lid, playing with the throttle.
It does have A decompression lever I believe, could that be the issue...do you have to use it to get these atcs started?
Also I suppose I could have flooded it getting it out of the truck.
Guess I check for spark too.

It cranks the starter over I can hear it however I don't know if its engaging the flywheel or not, also i can hear the small relay and heatsink next to the starter silonoid clicking when I hit the start button. I don't think its firing either.
Then randomly it turned over a few times when I'd press the start button quickly or kind of let off and pressed again.
Any ideas?
