read it all, amazing stuff he has. So first I should have checked the spark to see where the problem was coming from as barnone stated

Yep,
I think I asked you twice to get one of those spark testers at Harbor Freight.

First thing I check.

so I should go out and ride until I get the problem, then hook up the tester and then what? What should I look for? Whats the proper procedure?

[mattbujor]

also guys when inspecting the spark plug if too white or powdered running lean, if too black its too rich right? any guides you guys use for this?

Matt,
I and others have been trying to advise you for a week or more but you seem to ignore our suggestions.

You should look for a spark in the clear plastic bulb of the spark tester. If no spark then you have an electrical problem. What the fuck do you think a spark tester is for?

Not to be mean but you seem like you should not own a Chinese motorcycle since they require some basic mechanical/electrical skills to maintain them. You should buy a bike from a local trusted dealer that can maintain your motorcycle.

You are not pulling our leg are you? Trolling?

[mattbujor]

barnone no lol, no troll, and hey just trying to get the proper procedure, and yes I actually do have a mechanical tendency, not going to give you my degree and graduate school but yes, I think I do hold a little knowledge ( sarcastic voice ).
But back to the spark tester, any type of misifiring or say there is a spark but very weak, type of thing I should know?

It would not be the first time a character has been created on this website. The site administrator should be able to see the IP servers that any member signs on with, if they see that certain screen names share a common host server, then you can be pretty sure it is one person. That being one person using multiple screen names.

I do not do that, never have, never will.

This site likely has very few people posting out of one regional area, servers are all identifiable as they have physical locations. My host server is out of Broadview Heights Ohio always. If I check my IP, online it will show a host server named SBC Global and its location is in Broadview Heights. The software maps that offer a location pin use that, not your home address, that is private, but the physically location of the server that provides your IP address.

If I was to make a guess about Matt Bujor, mine would have been that he was a Romanian immigrant living in south Florida? If was to guess what school he was attending I would have guessed a community college and taking classes in English as a second language?
