My Rmz250 wont start after we changed the engine oil, It started and ran well before we did but when we changed oil we just started it quickly to get the oil around in the motor, after that it didnt start. What can be wrong?

Thx

x2, might sound dumb, did you turn the gas back on?

x3 for the gas back on? If you did, check spark. try a new plug. You MAY have fouled a plug.

Let us know.

Well, the bike stood still for about a month untl i tryed to start it. And we checked the spark and it works, we are gonna clean the carburetor and get some new fuel.

Something is not making sense. I thought you said that you started it before you changed the oil?

Do you mean that you started it a month ago, changed the oil and now it wont start?

If its been sitting for a month the fuel is going to most likely be bad and the carb is going to be gummed up. Remove the float bowl. Clean out the Pilot jet and make sure the accelerator pump is working and not clogged. Add new fuel and it should start right up.

Also, if it did start for a minute, how did it run? Was the choke on? Without knowing the entire story it sounds like you have a plugged pilot and gummed up carb.

Yes, just when we changed the oil we started it up very quickly then it stood for a month.

Sounds like you got a plugged carb and pilot jet.

Pull the bowl off and clean out the pilot jet (jet in front of the main jet) and make sure you can see light through it. Also, if you can take an air nozzle and spray through the pilot jet passage way in the carb.

Let me know if that takes care of your problem.

I got the bike going Smile I just removed the carb, i saw that there was alot of fuel at the valves so i kicked the bike and suddenly it got ignition.
