fzr wont start?

Don't do starter fluid...

Get some seafoam if you're trying to short cut.

However, you should replace the gas. Gas can go to shit in as short as 3 weeks in the correct environment. A quick way to check is to get a spray bottle of known GOOD GAS and spray it directly into the carb like you would starting fluid when you're cranking it over. If it starts... it is either your gas or your gas delivery.

Have you checked for spark?

Also, moving this to tech... sorry I missed it before. I'll try to help the best I can over the internet... take it for what you want... Ithink I know how to turn a few bolts...

yes sir, good spark all across. disconnected the fuel lines and inspected them and they're good. the fuel pump winds up and pumps well. its got fuel, spark, and air. im gonna pull the plugs on her again tomorrow and re-check everything once more.

i tried to run it with some starter fluid and it ran for a few seconds. I drained the tank, added new gas turned it over and the same thing happen. sounded like a damn shotgun every time. its got clean gas, air, and i tested the leads to the sparkplugs, im starting to think the spark plugs are fouled.
