So I am riding down the road come to a stop light all is fine. I pull away from the stop light the bike starts bucking, like is was misfiring, then completely dies. It wont turn over now I went and bought a brand new battery so that's not the issue. Could it be the spark plug? This is my first bike so I am new at working on it, though I did have to replace the gasket between the carb. Any ideas of what my problem could be? I am thinking also possible transmission problem? I can't get in to any gear besides 1st 2nd and 3rd when sitting on the bike while it was not running. PLEASE HELP |

The bike won't turn over at all? Have you tried to start it in neutral and with the clutch pulled in? |

Yes. I tried that. I also pulled the plug it sparks fine. The engine tries to turn over won't kick over. I read somewhere about an ignition module might cause this problem. I don't exactly know what that is. |

I sprayed some starter fluid into the carb then I tried to start it it turned right over then ran for 5 seconds then died. Do I have a problem with the carb, is it not getting fuel? |

Sounds like you are not getting fuel. Dumb question, but I assume the tank has fuel in it? What about the petcock- it is on reserve, on setting, maybe off? Try shutting the petcock off, pull the fuel line off of the carb and then turn the petcock back on- are you getting fuel to the carb? If you are getting fuel to the carb, you may have a clogged jet.
Spark, air, fuel. That's all you need. Definitely not a transmission problem. |

There is fuel in the tank. I tried starting it in on and reserve same problem. I will try pulling the fuel line to see if fuel is getting to the carb. |

Don't forget compression.
Has the bike been sitting for a long time? If so, you could have bad fuel, or water in the tank. |

I tried to get the line off the carb seems it is band clamped on. I will have to have another go at it tomorrow. There was fuel in the line though. I pulled it off the petcock just to see. |
