NEED HELP PLEASE!!! (SOLVED)
Posted: 06:09 pm Sep 02 2017
OK, so I have a 2001 200 that I absolutely love. I just put tires on it this weekend (Shinko) and was getting ready to test them out. I started the bike and leaned it against the house (no kickstand) and continued working in the back yard. It had been warming up about 5 minutes and I heard the idle go down some. As I come around the corner I notice that the bike had slid forward and is laying on its right side still idling. It was probably laying like this for 30-40 seconds (definitely less than a minute). I ran over and hit the kill switch and stood the bike up. I did notice that there was gas pissing out of one of the tubes underneath.
I then proceeded to restart it and take a quick ride around the yard and out into the back woods. After about 200 yards it bogs out and dies. Since then I have not been able to get it to restart.
Here is what I checked
Bike has spark
Bike is getting gas to the spark plug (always wet when I take it out)
Tried a new plug (NGK BR8ES gapped to .8mm)
Did a compression test (Slightly over 120 PSI cold with the throttle wide open)
Since the last time I was riding it significantly (about 3-4 hours riding in Maine) I have only cleaned and re-oiled the air filter and put new tires on it. I did the filter just like I always do but I am wondering if I should try removing it just to see if it will start without it on there.
The bike seems to have all it should need to run (spark, Fuel, compression and I am assuming air). It just won't fire. I have had the bike for a little over a year and it has never given me trouble. A couple kicks from cold with the choke on and it fires right up and runs like a bear.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff
