Suzuki van van

Hi all long time since I've been on here. After a bit of advice if possible. The girlfriends daughter has a van van 125 carburrated model. The camchain snapped and wrecked the engine. To cut a long story short she bought a newer model engine to put in which had fuel injection. I've swapped all the carburettor and everything off the old engine onto the new one.  It won't start. There's a good spark etc. Is there any reason the carb wouldn't work on the new newer engine? I'm at a bit of a loss. Cheers

maybe the spark is good but not at the right time?

Welcome back by the way. We like pics, and not only of the Van Van.

It's funny you should say that just had another look at it and the spark is all over the place. When you hit the start button there's a huge spark the  it stops.  Would the pick ups be different on the newer engine perhaps. I  confused here. Thanks for the welcome I'll stick some pics up of my other bikes later

Most probably yes.

So?.... Switch over to the old ignition plate and rotor...  And report back to us 

 

We like think we can learn by letting others make our mistakes
