so I bought a non running 01 buell blast for a song off of craigslist. I thoroughly cleaned the carb(disassembled, dipped, blown out with compressed air)reinstalled. tested the electric choke, nice fat healthy spark, plenty of compression. The engine turns when I hit the button but isnt firing up (or sounding like its firing) I hit it with a blast of starter fluid, it spun, back fired once through the carb and spun still refusing to catch.the only thing off im noticing is that the pcv valve is REALLY loose. any thoughts? |

Watch the backfire! LOL Re-check the carb boot after the backfire. Squirt a little fuel into the carb, if it fires then you know you have to start looking into the fuel system a little further... You say the sparkplug is firing? |

yes, nice big healthy blue spark. I rechecked the carb boot and still nada. |
