OK guys i didnt pick a plug up my grandma was in the hospital :{ But on christmas before people come over i want my ytm200 to give me a present lol to start with a new plug lol.. Its not the timing im pretty sure because the piston is TDC i checked about 100 times it is.

OK,
Well it's either your plug or your carburator.
I'm going to say a little of both

[YTM200BOY]

yamahaauler thank you i think you and slotmx and some selected others are very helpful due to my hard headedness yes i will get a plug and fill it up and check carb for the 5 time again lol this think WILL run on christmas thats all i want lol

[slowneasy]

If you work at the prolem with logic looking at each thing you touched from when it ran to when it didnt im sure you will find the problem. I had the same problem with no start and just backfires and i retraced what a did and with a little luck found what it was that was buggered. Turned out it was the one thing that i had touched since the bike ran!. So thats why the guys here are saying that looking at the carb should be the first thing you do. My bet? you dislodged some rubbish in the carb when you changed the flat needle that either got into the jet or stuck the float vavle slightly open making the engine flood. Just have a look at all the things youn have changed or touched, You never know it migth be just that you moved the wiring harness and made a dodgy connection stop working fully.

But it may just be as simple as a fouled plug, remember you can have a plug that sparks but wont start as when the piston comes up its much harder for the engine to spark and it finds and easier route to ground further up the ceramic. keep patient and methodical and you will figure the problem out

ok guys a update i checked the plug last week its perfect we checked it all out electrically and were pretty possitive its not electric. so today i checked carb clened it out and everything i took a flathead screwdriver and scrathed the bottom of carb kind of hard and black crap was coming off so i scrathed all the sides and cleaned it out as possible as it could get. Another question is my choke was appearently broken off by the ass the owned it before me.. On the top of the carb there is a screw you unscrew and a spring holds the choke down and all the choke i have is the piece that sits in there does this work? - Thanks guys -Joe

I got another question before it stopped working when you were to go and pull it sometimes.... When you pulled it sometimes it would get alittle rope out then stick so basically it was like locked?? now it doesnt "lock" on any pull anymore does anyone know what im talking about?? Thanks

[traxxasx]

ok, well its is hard to tell what your talking about, so heres what ya do, you get 25$ and *Edited* go to walmart, you find these littel digital cameras, no fancy on with a screen but the are digital and hook up too your comp. and take pictures of everything and what your talkin about and this would be much simpler, *Edited* shoulda took that deal up with on of these members to go down to your house to fix it for you.
