You could test for fuel issues with a little shot of starting fluid just to see if it wants to light off.
already tried that and didn't even sputter
If it's getting fuel then it has to be either spark or air....did you pull the filter to make sure it hasn't become home to something?

agree. I removed the filter to clean it and have yet to reinstall it since I don't want to wash out the filter oil with go-juice.
It is good to see that my feeble mind is still in concert with the DAMN Borg on bike troubleshooting and maintenance!
I'll start back in on it this weekend. The week so far has been real rough.

It is a KTM with 596 miles on it; it's probably time for a new engine anyway......
