CRF Honda 80 Start Problem?

Question

Ok, so a few days ago we started up my CRF Honda 80. It was working fine, and had some old fuel in it. It had full oil as well. None of which was old. It has no oil problems, except a past problem, where the oil wasnt changed after riding for many days on end, and the filter wastnt changed. We had it fixed for $400, and it worked fine, since then we havent ridden much because its cold. It sounds like the key isnt in, if you have heard that, i even put a moderateley new spark plug in as well as the old one that i tried. Ive also drained the carb, done the choke, cleaned and oiled the filter, as well as sprayed the inside of of the filter with carb cleaner.

None of this worked, and it still sounds as though the key isnt in, but it is. Any solutions? Could it possilby be the old fule (2 months) or what?

Mail me if you need any more specs on it.

Thanx! =)

Answer 1

I would just have the engine rebuilt that would help a lot.

Answer 2

If it is a metal tank then i got nothing other then pull out the carb and clean it. If you are using a plastic tank then don't leave old gas in it for too long. you should take it apart and really clean that carb. also if you ever do get a metal tank keep it filled so no moisture can get in and rust the tank

Answer 3

You would get a better response in "Cars & Transportation"> "Motorcycles, This is "Motorcycle Racing"

Answer 6

wrong forum there dude, but I will answer your question....

have you tried flushing out the carb or cleaning the carb?

if you let a bike sit, the carb will get gummed up if you let gas sit in it for extended periods of time, and it doesn't take all that long....

Draining the carb is one thing, cleaning the jets is another.....

do that and use fresh gas.......
