What to do if my Husqvarna Motorcycle engine turns but does not start?

If your Husqvarna Motorcycle engine turns but doesn't start, consider these potential causes and solutions. First, ensure you are following the correct start procedure. If the motorcycle has been out of use for a while, old fuel in the float chamber might be the issue, so empty it. Check for any interruptions in the fuel feed, such as a blocked fuel tank breather or fuel tap. Also, a spark plug that's oily or wet should be cleaned, dried, or replaced. Make sure the spark plug electrode distance (plug gap) is correctly adjusted. Inspect the ignition system for any faults and check the kill switch for frayed cables or defects. Clean and treat any loose or oxidized connectors or ignition coils with contact spray. Finally, check for water in the carburetor or blocked jets.
