Why my KTM Motorcycle engine turns over but won't start?
- CChristopher HuntAug 21, 2025
If your KTM Motorcycle engine turns over but doesn't start, it might be due to a few reasons. Ensure you are following the correct start procedure. If the motorcycle has been out of use for a while, the fuel in the float chamber might be old, consider emptying the carburetor float chamber. Check for any interruptions in the fuel feed by inspecting the fuel tank breather and cleaning the fuel tap. Also, a spark plug that's oily or wet could be the culprit, so clean, dry, or replace it. Adjust the plug gap to 0.60 mm (0.0236 in). Finally, check the connector or ignition coil and clean it with contact spray if it is loose or oxidized.
