Hi I have an 87 savage I have rebuilt over the winter, rockers, cam , gaskets, etc. I put it together and it fired right up. Needed carb tuning..no problem. Rode about 5km in small test rides, all good just running rough because of wrong jets. Start it up one day, ride down to the gas station to put air in the tyres, turn it off to fill gas, and now it won't start. It was "whirring" while trying to start, like the starter had broken a gear. Bugger. Trailer her home. Decomp was not attached.Now it is.
Now the juicy part
With decomp attached I get 2 or 3 thuds, like a normal start up noise, then back to whirring. Bugger. But good sign the starter gears are OK? Opened head inspection port, things moving while trying to start. Good.
So now I take an extra sparkplug I have that I know is good, attach to lead and watch for spark while I crank.
I ONLY HAVE SPARK WHILE THE DECOMP VALVE IS OPEN. Decomp disengage and back to whirring and no spark.
disconnecting decomp no spark at all.
Battery is charged and hooked up to car with jumper leads, no change.
All safety switches are gone.
Any ideas guys?
I'm at a brick wall
