If Your Engine Quits or Won’t Start
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Taking Care of the Unexpected
The next area to check is the fuel system:
If the problem is relatively minor and you
have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a
temporary repair, be sure to have permanent
repairs made as soon as possible.
Do not continue riding if you are hurt or
your motorcycle is not in safe riding
condition.
Additional recommendations for specific
problems follow.
If the engine wasn’t making any unusual noises
before it quit running, and it feels normal when
you operate the kickstarter, you can probably
rule out a major mechanical problem.
Make sure there is enough gas in the tank
and the fuel valve is at the ON or RESERVE
position.
Check the fuel fill cap vent tube to see if it is
pinched or obstructed.
Turn the fuel valve OFF, disconnect the fuel
line that goes from the fuel valve to the
carburetor, then momentarily turn the fuel
valve ON. If fuel does not flow out, there is
an obstruction in the fuel tank or the fuel
valve.
If the fuel system appears to be okay, check the
ignition system (this requires a spark plug
wrench):
