On the rear cylinder at the top on the right side of bike as you are sitting on it, there is a chrome cover that is in place by rubber gromlets pull that cover and there will be the spark plug. The fromt cylinder has same cover but on the left side of bike. Check the plugs and probably replace them and see if bike will start you can also check for spark there by placing the plug in the wire and putting it against the cylinder and turning over the motor watching the plug to see if there is spark in each cylinder. I hope this helps you.

I have an 1983 yamaha 750 virago , i bought a new air filter . plugs , and a battery , it started one time a was spitting and sputtering ,then now it wont start

Systematically replace the new parts for the ones removed until it fix's it. To be honest i think its the spark plugs, but could be the air filter. you could also have made a loose connection between the coil and spark plugs when removing the spark plugs.

Bike wont start bought new battery charged it and still wont start i havent changed spark plugs

It won't start? or it won't turn over? If it won't turn over have your starter checked out and proceed from there. If it tries to turn over but won't start, change the sparkplugs and see if you get a spark. If you do not get a spark you should take it to a repair center. If you do get a spark with the new spark plugs, install them and see if it runs. If not see if it's getting fuel, If it still wont run whether it is getting fuel or not I reccomend taking it to a bike mechanic.

Unknown callers wont ring

maybe check on the ringer type for restricted numbers- you can change ringers by all calls, restricted calls, and caller id numbers. your incoming restricted numbers is probably set at none or silent

My keeway wont start

Check the fuses. Is the kill switch on or shorting out? Disconnect it and then check for spark. Sidestand/centerstand should be up, Got a good battery?

I am unfamiliar with your Keeway and just trying to help. Don't give me a bad rating if I miss the mark on this one. Thanks.

Car Starts but dies

Give the car a "Tune-up". Replace the spark-plugs, the spark-plug wires, and make sure the "Timing" is correct...OK

Bike wont turn over

I have a 1996 cbr 600 f3 and when I first bought it used it would not turn over for the life of it. It turned out that a major problem was the spark plugs needing to be replaced. Thats the first thing to do. Next clean out those carbs with some good carb cleaner.
