KLF400-B1 Wont Start

lee4699 · 4 Weeks Ago

I have a 1993 bayou 400 that started great untill the other day when I was riding it started sputtering like it was running out of gas. It eventually died and wouldn't restart. It had plenty of gas and the carb is working. When I pull the spark plug out I can get it to spark but it does not seem to ignite anything when I put it back in including either. The gas is clean and fresh.
Anybody have any suggestions? I would appreciate them.
Thanks

I found a busted intake valve. Replaced it tonight and ran like new again. The valve adjustment was way off. It probably never been adjusted since new. I was hoping the slight knocking would quit but it did not. It might be a little less but it is still there. I checked everything in the top end. Everything was more than satisfactory for a sixteen year old except for maybe the cam shaft. It had a very little play from side to side the long way. Could that be the cause? The piston rod had a lot of play back in forth, is that normal?
Thanks for the help!
