I got my old XL dirt tracker out and it wont start, its got great spark, fuel and air, and i duoble checked the "fuel" and sprayed starting fluid in and still nothing...I dont get it Its a 1977 so, maybe its time, lol. IDK any help would be appreceated, thanks.

Check compression.

okey dokey

Well, ive narrowed it down to being an electrical problem, the points in the motor are worn, the condenser is fine, mag is fine, stator is fine but im thinkin its worn points, how would i go about adjusting it?

I thought you said it had great spark?

it did, last night, this morning i got a chirp out of it then nothing, so now i have new problems....It never ends, its a great bike too, i dont want to toss it...

Gummed up carb.......over an amount of time they get too gummed up to clean/fix..and youll need tog et a new carb...soo id check our carb next.

I cleaned the carb first thing, weve narrowed it down to a points-condenser problem. I have to pull the flywheel and check the points a stuff...I wish i could just get new parts. I have a better chance of meeting god, lol.

Never give up on new parts. There are always people restoring old vehicles. I managed to find every single part I needed, brand new, for a 1981 Honda ATC185S I am working on. There were times I turned to Canada, Japan, and the UK, but I found them....

Thanks for the help ubt those are for an XL175, mines a XL75.
