take the air filter off and pump the throttle to see if the jet is spraying fuel in

yeah try that, you shoudl see a jet of fuel go in with the accelerator

how do you know it has spark?

never heard of a carby pump die, so i doubt it will be that

check electrical stuff, some funky stuff over near the coil, that resistor, if a wire has popped off it will do funny things

^ i 3rd that idea. But when you try to start I'm pressuming it winds? does it sound like it wants to start or does it just sound like it's going like fuck dickhead?

Sounds like its time for a Carby Rebuild ™

Stipped a few 4K aisan's down in my time

You can't really see the actual 'jet' of fuel, but you will definately be able to see a 'mist' of fuel vapor.

If you're not getting that, then pull the fuel line off the carby, crank it over and see if fuel comes out.

Process of elimination, dear fellows.

yeh do that
and if it is your fuel pump that is fucked

does your fuel tank release a whole bunch of pressure whenever you open it?
in my ke30 it did this and it ripped through a few fuel pump thingos (can't remember what there called) diaphragm thats it!
once i sorted out the pressure issue it worked fine (by dodgily cutting a very small hole in the seal of the fuel cap) not recomended lol

also if your diaphragm is broken then fuel will piss out the bottom of the pump out of that small little hole when u turn it over,

thanks everyone..
got i running. it hard spark cause i took the coil offthe dissy and let it arc to body.. u could also take plug out and earth it to body thwen crank . it didnt have fuel spraying into the carb... what i did was suck fuel through pump. put the metal pipe back on.. sprayed start ya barstard into the carb to run it on after cranking and waited till fuel pumped up to the carb.. then started.. i still wanna know why it did this cause it a daily driver.. and i can't get stuck drivig to work oven worse home lol ;)
it does woosh when u remove he petrol cap.. i think if it does this it means the carbon canister or (charcol canister..)
to my understanding it alows the tank to breath while capturing the vapors and saving them. (so fuel does not evapoate).
anyway she is running again for now. will have to see what happens
thanks for all ya help.
cheers , jay
