Engine turning over but not starting
I did an engine swap with an engine that hasnt been used in a few years. Its all hooked up but it doesnt start. It turns over just fine and makes small "putt" sounds: i can feel air coming out of the exhaust. I tested for spark as well. It also seems like the carb is getting gas but I may be wrong.
Here is a video: http://viddur.com/2HGOC Also, there are two electrical "plugs" that I cannot seem to find anything that would go to them. I dont remember touching them when I dropped the engine Picture of "plugs": http://imgur.com/Jkn311h Thanks guys! |

Kyle,
Did you replace the carburetors as well? If not, were those working with the previous engine? This are your plugs: http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/What_ar...to_anything%3F Some suggestions for a similar problem: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=128021

I used the same carbs that were on previously that worked just fine, they have sat for a little less than 2 weeks. I believe there is gas getting to them because when I pull the hose from the tank, there is gas in that hose.
I also know I am getting a spark because I tested ther spark plugs, but I am not 100% sure if the spark plugs are seated correctly, I did hand tight + 1/2 turn, but what exactly is hand tight and how sensitive are the spark plugs to being seated in the correct spot? |

Check your carb float bowls, checking the hose is only ensures fuel is getting past the petcock.

Those wires look like the right turn signal.
