Ok, this one has me baffled....
I even got my neighbor over to help, since he has more experience, and it baffled him......
So, here is the story. I got a buddy a deal on three sleds, two 500's and one 400 Indy.
All of them have been out this season, and no issues. We went out last Thursday evening, and the '97 Indy 500 would not start. I put new plugs in, and it didn't start. So we took one of my sleds off my trailer and we went riding.
Fast forward to today. My neighbor and I went through the sled, trying to figure out why it didn't start.
First, we put starter fluid in the plug holes, and replaced the plugs. Tried to start it, nothing,,,, not even a pop...
Checked the plugs for spark, and they are getting spark, when grounded to the head. Checked compression, both cylinders at 90+. Fresh ethanol free fuel...
Checked key switch, stator, and kill switch, spark,,,, all appear to be good.
So, we both were stumped. Spark- Check, gas- Check, Compression- Check......
Anything else to check? It does not even sound like it wants to start.... When I hold the throttle open, you can hear the sound through the air box, so the carbs are letting in air.....
Just weird, cause it ran fine, and we put it on the trailer last time we rode it, and now....... nothing..
Any advice on what to check next?
