1994 polaris 400L 4X4 2 stroke

gas at carb, spark at plug, but wont start. the plug stays dry.

any suggestion?

 

if its been sitting there could be a rats nest in the jub ports. have you tried spraying starter fluid directly into the cylinder while turning it over? carb could also be gummed up from sitting.

let us know what all you have done to it so we can get a better idea of where the issues stand at

 

Clean carb,check reeds,check compresion

 

it died while idling.

i noticed fuel leaking from the carb.

the bowl had a pin hole leak so i put JB weld on it.

sprayed everything down inside with carb clearner.

reinstalled carb

(wont run) plug stays dry even if i work the throttle while trying to start

 

what are reeds?

 

if you take the carb off they are the little plastic flaps you see going into the motor. they are usually the only valves on a 2 stroke motor.

are you sure you getting fuel into the float bowl. lightly unscrew the 17MM bolt on the bottom of it while the fuel line is hooked up. see if fuel starts trickling out of there. if it is, then i would take the carb apart and make sure there isnt a blockage somewhere causing the fuel to stop getting into the carb body.

if it died while idling, what does the end of your spark plug look like? is it white/ashy looking. might have burned a hole in the piston.
agree with ftwflh i would check compression
