Wont fire what am I missing?
Woke up my 98 GP1200 from a long sleep. It ran decent for about 15 minutes then when I put it back on the trailer it would not start again.
Checked a bunch of things over. It won't fire at all which is puzzling me.
Spark is strong on all three (tested with adjustable gap spark tester)
Have a primer so fuel is not the issue.
Compression 120psi all three.
Put in new plugs and battery is fully charged....Even added another grounding wire to the ingition box.
I'm about to swap out the pulsar coil thinking the timing may be off...but seems like I am reaching here. It won't fire at all and the spark is strong.

Crank her with plugs removed, fuel mist has to come out of plug holes.And be careful don't set her on flame.

Have you tried a shot of ether to see if she'll hit?
When you tested the spark, did you have the plugs installed in the head with an external in line light tester? Or did you pull them out an observe the spark? If so, it could be a weak spark that isn't happening under compression.

Did you turn the fuel selector off and forget to turn it back on?

This one has me severely puzzled. It seems like it should fire atleast a little.

Bad gas? maybe there's water in the gas tank. Water sinks to the bottom where the fuel pick up is.
