Have you checked your mixture screw setting? If it was spitting fuel out the air filter sounds like there's to much going in, either that or you're giving it way to much throttle and flooding the engine

Yes checked the mixture screw just won't start now has strong blue spark if I manage to get it starting it splutters and backfires loads and the kickback on the kick start is ridiculous kicks my leg in the air if that helps

Do you think it could be timing or valve related then

Re: bike wont start please help

no one will know, unless you check, and eliminate them from your fault finding. You claim you have a spark and fuel...

Re: bike wont start please help

Well when I take spark out the plug is brown on end strong blue spark and fuel is definitely going through because if I kick it to much it ends up flooding so I drain everything and start again
