Everything seems good but she just won't start!!:
I have fitted a brand new carb (36mm Mikuni) and a battery eliminator (White Brothers?).
I have taken the spark plug (new) out and visually it seems to be sparking nicely.
I have taken the screw at the base of the carb out and fuel pisses out of that.
I have put the ignition timing back to mid way (I was mucking around with it prior to fitting the new stuff).
I have tried putting some fuel directly into the carb and I sometimes get a pop and other times a very loud explosion
.
I have tried hooking the battery back up (thinking the eliminator wasn't giving me enough oomph to get a good spark whilst everything is not set properly).
My technique for starting is to kick it around to compression, use the decomp lever to move it just past this point then, with the throttle off I kick...and nothing!
I have also tried roll starting it but to no avail.
If I have spark and fuel in the carb surely it would at least pop and splutter and possibly catch wouldn't it? Without putting fuel direct into the carb I can't get a pop out of it.
Anything else I must check?
