- Are the plug caps securely on?
- Are the plugs fouled? Clean them and retry.
- Is the battery able to provide the necessary current? Remember, this is a TRIPLE ignition. Also is your switch healthy?
- Is there any air being drawn by the carb (loose bolts, loose needles, loose tubing)?
- Are you running part ethanol in your fuel? Is your fuel freshly mixed?

Finally, try to start the engine at 1/3~1/2 throttle @ very rich setting. 1/4 is too low if you have richened the carb. Let it spin up to 2k rpm for warm up and then tune WOT @ <4,000.

Let us know.
