so i'm pretty new at these things although iv'e read tons of stuff here, anyways my bike wont run at all anymore, i put it aside after its maiden voyage because of chain rub on the frame, got most of it taken care of today, went to try it (although thanks to a tight spot a single link would rub my frame the rest was fine though) anyways the motor wouldn't start and me and a few other people started looking for the problem and determined we didn't have spark, (also found out i'm apparently running to much fuel/not enough air into it since my plug was black and oily)
we did this by taking the plug out and rolling the bike at which point from what we understand there SHOULD be spark, but there wasn't.
we metered it but the posts i found were somewhat hard to understand so we're not sure how accurately we did it.
i'm not sure how these things work exactly so is there any other simple/fool proof tests to see what the problem is? and from there we can figure out what else may be wrong?
the only other change i made while we had it put aside was lossening the flower nut 2 notches to make pulling the clutch easier, iv'e since moved the nut back 2 notches to its original position to rule it out as a possible thing i goofed on.
thanks.
