Is a dirty air filter enough to keep a motorcycle engine from starting?
I recently purchased a 2006 ninja 650r that would turn over but not fire. The battery is fully charged, there’s fresh fuel in the tank, I have spark at the plugs, the fuel pump is working fine, and there’s good compression. I did notice that the air filter is pretty dirty. Would something that simple be enough to keep the engine from firing?
Pulled the filter and it still doesn’t run. I guess it’ll go into the shop next……
