    na then lads well jus recently i was riding home on my speedfight after a very long night of riding around and everything was working fine and then suddenly my engine cut out. so i pulled over and tried to start it but no luck. i ended up pushing it home. then in the morning i stripped it to its frame and tried to find out what had gone wrong. there was a perfect spark, magneto was working, fuel to carb fine but no fuel to cylinder. so i have cleaned my carb out fully with a pressurised air line and stuck it all back together, but it still wont start. and i have no fuckin idea what cud be wrong but it doesnt help that my starter motor has packed up because its a pain tryin to start it wiv my shitty small kickstart. PLEASE HELP does anybody know what cud be wrong????? even little stupid things that i might of forgot because i am a thick cunt.

    if u got a fuel filter check that aswell it might be blocked,
    it could be something to do with the fuel pump aswell

    What you mean 'Shitty kick start'? My speedfight starts first time with just a little tickle of the kick coz the battery is naffed (old and crusty 1997 Yuasa)

    When I was rebuilding mine, it wouldn't start. Turned out the jets were blocked inside the carb. Best thing for it is to soak it in red diesel (AKA parts washer) to get all the crud out fo it.
    After that, could start it first time no probs.
