    could be flooded then. take the plug out and take it iff the lead set the kill switch to off and turn the engine over for about 20 secs

    dry that plug off pop it back in and see if she fires, i would think that 120psi would make it fire up fine

    Carb needs a rebuild i guess?

    anyone know if the fork boots for a tri z will fit the fork boots on the tri moto 125 forks? also these forks are just spring forks right there no fluid or seals in them?
