Re: I can't start up the bike -- HELP!

76,

Go back and read my posts. I had the same problem you are having. Don't pay $98 for a diagnostic - ask them what it costs to clean the carb, pay it, and then make sure your bike starts. Make sure they understand that you are paying them to get the bike starting easy, running smoothly, idling properly etc. You might need to have several goes at it until they accomplish that and you don't want to keep paying. Don't try and do it yourself. It's not a simple job and you'll likely not succeed. You want to ride the bike yes? If you want to be a mechanic that's different.

Good luck. Dont take the jabs on here personally. We're kind of a cranky bunch.
