I got this bike running about 18 months ago. The owner keeps it at his summer cabin. It wont start this summer. It has spark, 120 psi compression and I checked valves. I give it a shot of ether and no sign of life. I put a new spark plug in it, and a shot of ether and it started for about 2 seconds. I put the choke on, turned on the gas and nothing. Another shot...nothing.
A couple thing to note. The green neutral light doesn't come on unless you have on/off switch in the off position. However after trying to start it a bit, the light will be on when the switch is on.
He also the 1969 Trail 70 that I got running for him too. That one wont start either. He said his 12 year old grandson had ridden the heck out of it, so.....no telling. I haven't messed with that one yet.
