Ok, I was rode my Z the other night for a good hour or so after sun down. That way im not making any hunters mad or anything. Everything went well and I got home and just left it behind my garage, because I rememebr someone telling me it was supposed to be nice the next few days. Well, I wake up the next morning, and it's RAINING!! So I hopped into my slippers ran outside with just my boxers and a t-shirt on, and pushed the Z into the garage. I felt better after that. I didn't have any time to mess with it because I had to go to work. That was yesterday. Well tonight I started it up, and like always, it started right up after 2 kicks. So I just let it sit there and idle as I went and got my helmet and jacket(15 feet away). Well, It died as I went and got those things. I thought, well that's strange....I don't rememebr putting the choke on. So I grabbed my gear went over to my z, and saw that I did indeed leave the choke off. Hmm. I kicked it over again, started it up......and died 2 secs later. I kicked it again and again, and nothing. So I thought, no gas. Well, gas is about 3/4 full. I took the plug off, and cleaned it, kicked it over, and it sputtered and died. So I put the choke on kicked it over, sputttered and died again, I took it off, kicked it about 4 times, and on the 3rd time it sputtered, and 4th time it back fired. So I though that was enough for tonight.
What could be the problem? Could it be the plug? I never got a chance to check spark, because I had other things to do, and it was just to dark. Another thing is, on my stator cover, the rubber gromet thing that the wire runs through going in and out of the cover is out. Could water have gotten down in there and damaged the coil?
