Default Can't get my Evo to start
Ok, here is what I got...90' Evo, S&S Super E carb, DynaTech Single fire ignition. *The bike has been running but stalled out and have not been able to get it running again. *Carb is set as follows...idle mixture screw 1 1/2 turns out, idle just engaged then 1/2 turn, accelerator pump screw lightly set then 2 turns out. *Set the ignition using the static timing recommended by DynaTech...both coils are reading correctly with the ohm meter...so, I am getting spark, I am getting fuel and I am getting compression...suck, squeeze, bang and blow...everything seems to be in order so why won't the damn thing start? Any help would be greatly appreciated
