Hello!
I am a proud owner of a 1981 Yamaha XV750 Virago. Life was good until my bike suddenly died in the middle of the season. No power, lights, dash, starter... nothing. The bike has been put down once, but hasn't been affected from it.
As of right now I've done the following:
-I've fixed the electricals
-new battery
-new starter
-new starter solenoid
-new plugs
-fresh oil
-fresh gas
Now that I have electrics, I tried starter her and all she does is crank over and over and over. There is gas in the chamber (plugs are wet), I've check for spark, good compression.
Why won't it start?? I have a new air filter so I have all the essentials to start it. I've been working on this for weeks upon weeks and I am getting aggravated.
I've got gas. Compression. Air. Spark. I don't need anything else to start her and she still won't start.
Let me know if you have any idea... Let's figure this one out before I lose it (anymore than I already have.. haha)
Thank you so much... And let me remind you, no idea is a bad idea. I want to hear all of it.
Mike
