  • Engine isnt running

    Left earlier this morning to go ride and started right up. As i was going down the street it started bogging at low rpm's and then it slowly died. I pulled off the road and noticed that fuel was leaking and the tank was empty. After refilling the tank i could not get it to start. Now i have taken it apart and its getting a spark and there is gas in the carbs. It turns over however will not start. I sprayed starting fluid in the carbs and it started up but died after the fluid was used.

    Any advice you have would be appreciated

    You fixed the fuel leak right? Check for any kinks in the pipes where you have been fiddling around.

      fixed the fuel leak. Im going to need new lines here pretty soon. But my brother grabbed desiel fuel instead of gasoline when we went back to the house....... so i had to drain the tank and the carbs. after than it got running again and the fuel stayed in.
