Default Eiger Died

My Eieger died tonight. Been out riding all afternoon, picked up some sputter (cutting in and out) around 25mph in third gear, but opened up well. Did not see a real good flow of fuel through the filter so I replaced it, fuel flow better after that. Had it running and it just died (sounded like it backfired a little prior to). Spins, has spark and fuel flow, but wont start. Any ideas?

id bet just about anything that u have a ngk plug. u fouled it out and once an ngk is fouled out theres no cleaning it or anything. u may have spark, its just ngk they wont work after being fouled.

Sounds like it went lean before shutting off. Id think the jets may be plugged. Drop the float bowl, and check for crud in there. If you find stuff in the bowl, you can assume the carb sucked it up into the pasages too.

Thanks for all the info everyone.

Have changed the plug and tried to start it with and without the filter in place. No go.
Gonna drop it off an have the carb and other stuff checked out. Well see what happens. If anyone else has any ideas I am open to suggestions. I still has the stock jet in it, should I put in a new one, if so what size. I am not looking to do a lot of mods on the machine.
