If you look into the intake with a flash light you can see the 2 valves. (suzuki motor has 4 valves i believe,and the H1 has 2). so you can see if they are stuck,maybe.

 

I will take a look. There isn't much room to look around without pull the front fender up and out of the way. I suppose I will have to get the throttle body unbolted and up out of the way to do that.

 

i can see mine just by taking the air filter off and looking straight down in there with a light. I have a pull start so i can just pull slow and watch them open and close. i can onlt see 2 though. one intake,one exhaust.

 

You are referring to intake boot from the air filter box to the throttle body? At the moment, i have intake boot from the air box to the throttle body off the bike. Are we talking about the same thing? To look through the throttle body I would have to hold WOT to open the butterfly valve.

 

sorry,yes hold it WOT and look through the butterfly valve. i wouldnt think they are stuck though. Ive never heard of that till you said your old one did it.

 

I wonder if new plug fixed it, ? sounds like fouled plug, once you foul one with gas they dont fire

 

I have not had a chance to get a new plug and put it in as of yet. I have been pretty busy at work and just hasn't allowed me the time to mess with it really any further. I did talk to my dealer about the bike and if the plug doesn't help, it will be going there Saturday. They are under the impression that its a fuel and/or ecu issue at the moment sight unseen.

 

Alrighty, so the spark plug seems to be the issue. Apparently I was not the only one who thought the existing spark plug was good and arcing as intended. Since I wasn't able to obtain the actual spark plug (apparently no one stocks a CPR8E plug) I was forced to use a CR8E for testing purposes. The bike fired with a new plug.

What would cause a plug that doesn't look fouled to foul and not allow even a burp when trying to start. All of my other bikes will run on fouled plugs albeit not very well, but never the less they will run.

 

from what Ive seen over the years, once gas fouled you might as well replace, , buy a couple extra ones , cheap, easy fix
