Just went to start my RX1 and it turns over fine but does not fire. I parked it a couple of weeks ago and I was going to let it warm up to check the oil ( I added oil thinking it was low and thought I would let it warm up then check it to see if I didnt add too much) anyway it would not fire. I went ahead and changed the plugs and then took air box off and squirted some starting fluid in the carbs and it would not even fire on that, so I am thinking it is electrical. Is there a fuse that could of blown or do you have any ideas??????
 
Check the simple stuff first. See if your getting spark on the plugs, then proceed from there.
 
i have the same issue will turn over but will not fire i think it,s the main fuse will have a better look tomorrow when i it,s not dark. not sure where the main fuse is can see the outher small fuses just not sure where is the main. my speedo has now power as well
 
as stated check for spark first. guage will not light till engine is running. motor will not turn over if fuse is blown so its not that. remove 2 fuel lines from bottom side of pumps and fill lines with gas and re-attach to pump. this will fill carbs. do not use starting fluid it washes oil off cylinders and is not needed. you can attach leads near oil tank to a car battery if needed to extend cranking time and avoid killing battery.
 
Ok good advice just had to spray some
Fuel into the carbs and it fired up
