SOURCE: engine wont fire up

Do you have fresh gas in the bike? Try changing the plugs with new ones and check for spark. You can do this by putting the new plugs on the plug wire and grounding it to the head on the engine crank the motor over you should see a bright blue spark. Check one plug at a time. No spark check the ignition wires and coils. As for the oily plugs it could be they are just fouled caused by either flooding the motor while trying to start, bad plugs, week coils, bad gas, poorly adjusted carb's. I would start with the plugs and work my way back to the carbs. Still fouling the plugs after all that start checking the engine, ie compression check ect.

SOURCE: my '86 suzuki savage won't rev up it just back fires

When I had my savage it backfired all the time. They are known for this. Make sure you fuel is not to lean. Just adjust the fuel. You should adjust that and put some sea foam in it or ethenol treatment since most of the gas is terrible these days. Running 91 octane will help. Also you will want to replace the muffler gasket too.
When you replace that it will smoke which is normal.
I sold mine but I know the bike pretty well from tearing it apart due to trying to fix it from not running properly. Let me know if you have any more issues.

SOURCE: suzuki gn125 wont start. checked carb, cdi, coil.

Check the valve adjustment. If a valve is standing open just a little, the compression will be too low to start the engine. Check fuel delivery by dribbling a little gasoline into the carb and try starting the bike. If it starts and runs for a second or two, you're not getting fuel into the cylinders. Check you carb again.

SOURCE: suzuki m50 shift gears.

You may not have a problem at all!
There is a sensor on your kickstand! You can start the bike while its in neutral and have the kickstand down, but if its in a gear with the kickstand down, the bike will automatically turn off. Also, if the bike is in gear with the kickstand down, you will not be able to start it. This is a safety precaution.

The engine just started running rough, as if it was miss firing on one cylinder. how can i check it? i'm not a major problem mechanic.

Run the engine, and pull the spark plug cables off,( one at a time ) and listen and watch to see if there is a difference in the running of the engine, then refit the cable and check the next, until you see that without the cable connected that the engine dunning makes no difference. That will show which cylinders are not firing. Then , when you know which cylinder is not firing, get a spark plug, connect it to the cable and crank the engine and see if you have a spark, if you do, then the cable is ok and its likely that the spark plug is faulty. if no spark then its likely the cable is faulty. Hope that helps

The engine has no compression,when try to start the engine it turn slowely and backfire.battery ok, stater ok.(jeep grandcherokee 2002 year, engine 6 cylinder.)

Hello osmanmackoy; My name is Roger and I will help you. First have you done a compression test? If so the compression must be over 100 psi. in order for the cylinder to fire. This would be a bare minimum. I would also look at the oil pump drive unit. This would be located where the distributor would have been on the older engines. There is a sensor mounted on the top of the drive. Remove the sensor and check the inner shaft. There should be no side to side play in the shaft.If the shaft moves side to side You need to replace it. This sensor is used by the computer to tell what cylinder to fire. The computer will not know which cylinder is next to fire. This will cause a no start or backfire condition.
Please rate the quality of the answer given as this way we know the answer was helpful. Should you need further help Please just ask . Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
