[QUOTE="MartyA, post: 952478, member: 5488"] Due to lots of other commitments it took until today to try it again today. I went over every wire / connector / plug to see if I disconnected something; I pulled 2 of the spark plugs to see spark. Lastly, I pulled the K&N out, saw a little oil in the box. Could it be that simple? Yep, I had too much oil on the filter. (this is my 6th K&N on my 6th bike, so I am not a noob with them). I held the throttle wide open, cranked for a long while, heard a bit of a pop, cranked a little more, then a sudden explosion (the open air box is REALLY LOUD!!!!) and it ran!! I blew some excess oil off the filter, replaced it, and it started again! A bit surprising, and a bit embarrassing; I would never guess you could put too much oil on a K&N. But now I can put all the plastic back on, wait for the snow to quit, then go riding.... Life is better today. :D [/QUOTE]
