Ok so I bought a GSX600F about a month ago. I was kind of a basket case but 2 weeks ago I finally got it put back together. It took a little bit of starting fluid the first time to get her fired off but it ran, and ran like a champ at that. I rode it around for about 10 minutes and came back to the house and let it idle in front of the garage, and walked inside. Came back out side to see the bike laying on the ground and my friend about to have a size 12 up his a**. After exchanging several dirty words I had no idea I even knew, we got it up and tried to fire it back up. It just sat there and cranked but would not fire. Took the plugs out let it sit for a week, came back made sure it was getting fuel and spark. All of which is fine. The spark is a bright white and after spinning out drain screws on the bottom of the carbs decided that the fuel bowls were full. Put it all back together and it wouldn't crank at all. Went down to the parts store grabbed a battery filled it and let it charge for 24 hours on a 2 amp tender. Came back out the next day and again all it would do is crank. I have not been able to check compression yet (my compression tester doesn't have and adapter to fit the head) but as far as everything else goes it should fire up. I also took the carbs apart to see if there was any varnish built up and they looked like someone had just cleaned them.
Would dropping the bike cause the rings to unseat, could the chain have jumped timing? Do the 94 GSX600F's have a tip switch (if so how do I reset it?) Are there any wires that may have come unplugged that the bike needs to fire up?
Keep in mind the key is turned on, the kill switch is on, the starter cranks great, it seems to be getting fuel, the spark is fine, plugs look like they're burning right, and it is in neutral with the stand down.
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something. What would my next step be? I'm at a loss for what to do next. I was hoping to get this running within the next few weeks so I can start back up on my Wrangler project.
If I'm missing any info let me know and I'm sure I can dig it up!
Any help would be nothing short of amazing!
Thanks!
