98 KX60. Rebuilt it over the winter and always started first kick. Last weekend, it wouldn't fire for anything. (was ridden with no prob 2 weeks ago)

-Carb is good. checked the float and the jets including the slow jet which usually gets clogged when sitting too long.

-Plug is getting fire. Plug that was in it was wet and dark but still firing. Put in a new plug and no go. However it was wet after a few kicks.

-Compression good. I didn't have a tester with me but the kick starter felt just like it always has.

-Reeds are iffy. I can see a tiny bit of daylight in two spots but I've seen worse.

What else am I missing?

Never mind. I went to a website where guys actually ride and he helped me out. Smile Turns out Jr left the gas on after his last ride and the cylinder was full of fuel

Easy on the judgment quick draw, 30 minutes and 7 views doesn't give anyone a lot of chance of answering your question.

J/k It's all good. I guess I should have posted it over in Non-Moto and tried to make it political.

If cylinder was full of fuel, float needle rubber must be leaking, it could happen again. Then again, if the bike was on the side stand instead of a centerstand it could still be OK. Our mini float height was always setup to bleed a little while on the sidestand.
