84 200 Big Red no spark now has spark but

[y2kane]

Ok I found a loose wire and now have strong spark!!!:D :D

I sprayed starting fluid in to the spark plug hole and replaced the plug. It still would not start. did this 3 or four times with nothing. What could be causing this not to start. It has good compression. I am getting very frustrated with this trike. :mad:
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

possibly something to do with the carb? just my $0.2 your fuel switch could be clogged.

[y2kane]

might be but it should still fire with starting fluid in the spark plug hole right?

Timing could be off?

[y2kane]

ok might be can that be changed via the stator or is the only way to change it through the timing chain? sorry newbie in that area...lol

Valve timing and ignition timing are two different things. It's unlikely that your valve timing is off unless you've been skrewing around with your valve gear. Or, the stator could be off.

Ok thanks will mess with stator later this afternoon and see if I can get it working...

you got some water in the gas. drain a bit out of the carb.
