97 xplorer 500 no start or very hard to start
For the past few months i noticed my bike was getting harder and harder to start. It didn't matter if it was warm or cold. It would backfire out the carb many times before actualy starting. About a month ago i pulled the valve cover thinking the ex lobe on the must be gone. As it turned out it was mostly gone. After saving the money i got a new cam and rocker lever and replaced them. I still have the same problem. It backfires about once every 5 seconds of cranking. it did start twice as i let off the start button. ZIm going nuts thinking about this. I was thinking the cdi could be bad causing advanced timing but i don't have a one to test with. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks Eli

I had the odd back fire and the ATV would not start with the cranking of the electric starter but would start with the pull rope. It turned out to be the pulse coil needed to be cleane and gaped closer to the flywheel.
PS how much is the Cam Job to do, our 97 500 has 7500 miles on it and i,m sure its day will come soon for it to have it done.

I thought it looked to be way to far out but i couldn't find any air gap spec. i'll try that in the next few hours. i hope it works. my father in law gave me the money for the cam and rocker lever and i think he's loosing faith in me. till this i could fix anything with a engine.
