hello all , just got myself a trx , only i been a numpty . did'nt run too good when run for a while , but still took it home . anyway it will not start now , got rid of the irridium plugs for standard ngk , i also fitted the airfilter housing correctly (one of the clips was broken , letting in air) . ok i seem to have a verying amount of possibility's , would the ebay airfilter i bought not suit the bike ? weak spark ? (they are sparking orange in colour) any good tips to trouble shoot would be greatly appreciated .

Fuel?

Decent battery, choke working, as said fuel getting through ?

did you get the maintenance history from the previous owner?
i.e. when the shims were done last. . . .last oil change, filter intervals etc.
if not, is it possible to go back and ask?
cheers
