I have a 1998 zrt 600 triple. i just rebuilt the top end and had the carbs cleaned. It has good spart on all plugs and its getting fuel but it wont fire at all. Any suggestions? Thanks

You need 3 things to run, spark, fuel and compression. How are you testing spark and fuel. What is the compression nnow?

Are then plugs wet? Too much fuel? Are you loosing antifreeze?

my plugs aren't wet. i just finished rebuilding it and tried to start for the first time. its like i'm trying to start it with the key off. its not trying to fire or anything.

If you have spark, fuel, and compression it will run. You're missing something.

Make sure that you did not forget any of the switches (plugged in, in the run position, or bypassed with jumpers).

make sure you rembered to hook the pulse line up or it didnt get pulled of at either the pump or crank case seems to happen quit a lot with sleds we get in at the shop that have been rebuilt by the customer good luck

ok...got it running..not sure how just started.. but now it will run fine until i shut it off then it wont start again. then if i let it sit for about a half hour it will start again. is it getting to much fuel and flooding maybe??

Give it half throttle when you pull it over, that will clear it out.
