    Right i was recenty caught out in the rain on my typh125 which has a open fillter it bogged and cut out because the filter got wet.
    I cant get it started now i dryed air filter put new plug in i also changed the reeds in the polini evo reedblock as they didnt look like they were sealing and now she still wont start.
    Ive got a spark and tryed removeing the loom plug to check if it was a loom problem and it didnt work. I havent got a clue what it would be now and i need the bike for college on tuesday so any help would be great.
    Cheers Andy.

    remove the float bowl.. empty it, refit then suck the vac pipe to open the fuel tap... this will refill the float wiht fresh fuel.. if theres no joy id be checking the earth point on the engine,m a spark doesent mean a spark when in the engine.

    failing that, spray everything to do with the ignition with WD40. HT lead, cap, coil, wiring from the coil. drives out water

    i was told by wobbly that the bike should of started with the exhaust problem but now she hardly starts and cuts out alot so i am thinking i have low compression.
    It started and rode the other day its just hard to start and didnt want to start when i filled up with petrol so i had to push it home soo what does anyone think it sounds like low compression? im realy confused and just need it working to get to work on whilst i build my next engine
