NW, you overlooked another potential. it could just be DUMPING gas into each cylinder essentially flooding it before it can even TRY to light off.

I would lean more in this direction cause they are wet when i pull them out, is this still a needle being dirty?

Now its like backfiring out the exhaust, at least earlier it fired now it ain't doing sqaut but turning over

I think the wires are right, 1 and 4 on first coil and 2 and 3 on second coil does any one know?

you dont NEED 93 octane for that bike so you know. they run great on regular unleaded. rode my friends kat for a few months, beat the piss out of it, learned why they suck, but never had any problems with 87 octane.

Replace the plugs. They are probably fucked by now. My 92 Zuk used to do the same thing. I'd change plugs and it would fire right up. (Make sure the battery is fully charged before you re-start.)

Thinking last night about what the hell go ahead and replace the plugs, the old were gettn fire but the way gas is you need a touch to get it to burn

replace them and a couple cranks and she fired right up

Thank you all for your responses

Now can anyone help me with the lotto numbers?

Thanks again everyone
