Well, not fouled plugs, seems to be a fuel issue..

I sprayed some starter fluid and it started right up..

The tank did get dented, I took it off and there doesn't seem to be any blockage. I can't tell if the fuel filter is clogged, but there's def pressure in the line going into the carbs..

Any ideas?

I take it this means you won't be there on Tuesday and Wednesday next week?

You thinking about dedicating her for the track?

you dented the tank? I'd drain the tank... and check to see that all the fuel lines are clear... no blocks... I've heard fo tanks having a coating on the inside... (could be bs) could be that flaked off because of the dent and clogged the fuel lines. check your fuel filter and pump while your at it

I pulled the tank, drained it, didn't really see anything in the gas, however the reserve pickup did have what looks like a black flake on it.. it was toward the bottom of it, not in the way.. I checked all the lines and they are clear.. I don't know how to check the fuel filter other then seeing it looks pretty much clear and i can blow through it with no resistance.. I lost my multimeter but I tried testing the fuel pump by seeing if it vibrated during starting and it didn't seem to do anything..

if the fuel pump is out-prob almost solved. gota check if the pump itself is out, or just a blown fuse or relay. service manual would be handy....

I have one, just need to get my multimeter to actually test the stuff. I always seem to lose them for some reason..

Now I have a new problem... It seems my clutch isn't working properly.. I had the rear tire off the ground, Pulled in the clutch and shifted to first, before letting out the clutch the wheel was moving very fast and wasn't easy at all the stop (as if the clutch was just dragging) I've adjusted it all around on the lever and on the clutch, no luck so far.. What exactly in the clutch assy. could I have broken? I looked at the service manual but it didn't really help me that much.. Just tryin to see what I should look at before I go opening her up..

Thanks.

Damn bro... I feel for you. That shit sucked for ya.

I was real bummed about mine but it ended up turning out well

I'm sure as time goes on yours will turn out fine too... get some track plastics on there and you'll be happy as a clam again, dragging knee through turn 6

What about the adjustment of the cable down by the clutch cover?

Maybe your adjustment range on the handlebar isn't large enough to get it right... the crash could have moved things around...
