  If your Coleman Powersports Motorcycle engine won't start, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure you have fresh fuel in the tank. If the fuel is old or contaminated, have a service center flush the system and refill it. Check that the fuel valve is in the “ON” position. Also, make sure the spark plug is tightened, clean or replace it if it's fouled or defective, and ensure the spark plug gap is correct. Verify the spark plug cap is attached. If starting a cold engine, confirm the choke is in the “ON” position. Other potential issues include a dirty air filter (clean or replace it) or problems with the electrical system or valve adjustments, which would require a service center visit.

  If your Coleman Powersports Motorcycle engine stalls or runs erratically, start by checking the fuel level and ensuring you're using fresh fuel. If the fuel is stale or contaminated, have a service center flush and refill the tank. Make sure the choke is in the “OFF” position. Inspect the spark plug: clean or replace it if it’s fouled, ensure the gap is correct, and verify the spark plug cap is securely attached. Other potential issues include a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), or problems with the carburetor, idle, electrical system, or valve adjustments, which would require a service center visit.
