New here, not sure if this is the right place, but I wanted to log and see what kind of help I can get along the way.
I've always tinkered with cars in high school, got big into cycling the past 8-9 years or so. I always wondered, "would it be more fun on a motorcycle than pedaling?"
Lets find out!
I bought this 92 Nighthawk for $1200. Guy said it was sitting for a couple of months and the battery is dead. Said some new plugs and I should be off to the races. Obviously that is not the case
I jump started the bike, nothing. I put new plugs in, no dice.
I took the carbs apart and cleaned everything to the best of my knowledge. Some of the jets looked funky, but they should work, right?
I just put the carbs back on without the airbox booked up and tried to start her up, but got nothing different this time around. Womp womp. I pulled the plugs and noticed one was fouled up, one was 50/50, the other two looked brand new. So now I'm chasing down a spark issue.
This is what they looked like.
