My 1989 Honda CR250R will not start. We tried kicking it so many times and bump starting it. It has been stored in my shed for about 17 years and when it was put into the shed it was like new running perfectly. After I decided to take it out this spring, I bought a new carb that wasn't the same brand as the stock one, but was told that it should work. It fit on fine and i also replaced the spark plug. Any suggestions on why the bike isnt starting?

Make sure the NEW fuel is flowing from the tank. if it had gas in it when parked the petcock is pry clogged. if it has one anyways.

Usually kicking it that much won't cut the job... If it wanted to start it would start. Did you give it a spray of starting fluid?

Drain the tank of old fuel... and check free-flow of the petcock.
