Phooey on the audio....
Its a .wma, Windows Media Audio...
Maybe I should upload the mp3?

Maybe, I downloaded the file and tried to run it through 3 different media players and none of them worked.

On another note, have you made any progress on the bike yet?

Well, typically that's all I get done I was just hoping someone here could actually finish a project...

Was the tank empty when you put the new fuel in? If not you could have crappy gas.

There was a little bit in the tank when I took the bike home, so my dad and I pulled the hose on the bottom of it that supplies the fuel from the tank to.... well, wherever it goes. I drained the petrol that was in it, into a container, and my dad put some fresh petrol in. We shook the tank around a bit and drained out the clean stuff we'd just put in. Then we hooked the hose back up and put fresh petrol in. So the petrol should be clean.

Nothing got done today coz dad was busy ... doing nothing, but still, he didn't want to help me. Grrrr!

Ohy there peoples of the lovely forums!
FINALLY forced dad into coming down to the garage (dragged kicking and screaming is more like)...

He tested for a spark and it sparked. Hoorah!
Then he checked the air filter... and um... it appears there is no filter stuff in where its sposed to be, so its not that....
But then while he was playing with it, he tried to start it, and was fiddling with SOMETHING, he doesn't even know what he was touching because he was on the opposite side of the bike...

BUT SHE WAS ALIVE!
She actually started and he released the starter button and she idled along merrily. She DID sound quite rattley, but I was happy to see the little bugger had actually started at all.
And it didn't conk out, just kept rattling along.

So he then turned off the engine... And the sneaky little brat wouldn't start back up again. Grrrr!

Check the connections on the starter solenoid maybe. Actually you should probably check all of the electrical connections for corrosion. The tapping could be your valves, they are shim type so you need to take the readings with a feeler gauge and then order your new shims or a shim kit with many different sizes. If they are within spec however you can ignore my previous statement.
