oh6banshee Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 If i need to use the carb spray to start a cold motor what is wrong. Im going to take them apart and clean, and sync cause i just bought it but I dont want to spray everytime I go out. I figure something has to be adjusted and its a simple fix. Im trying to cover all my bases. By the way when it gets warm its fine, It starts right up. Also when is it time to get a fresh top end. Thanks Ill post picks of the new ride this weekend when i get it. Quote

1996dragshee Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Might be time for a rebuild. How many hours are on the top end? compression check....rebuild if under 105 Quote
oh6banshee Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 Not sure I dont have it yet. If I get the parts myself whats it ushally cost for labor or is it something I can do myself. Quote
AKheathen Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 check the float bowls the one that goes on the choke side has a little jet at the bottom where the pickup tube slides in. also, there is a little brass bead on the outside of that bowl, in the same area as the jet. Quote
Rodneya Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 *2 on the carb bowls. If it starts ok when warm it is most likely a choke issue Quote
oh6banshee Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks guys, after the guy let it warm up for about a minute it starts up no prob. Im going to go through each carb and completly clean then. Quote
dajogejr Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 I think you answered your own question. Even if a bike is jetted perfect, once the motor starts to get worn...it is hard to start cold. Once it warms up, parts expand and seal better...that's why it's easy to start warm. Do a cranking compression check with a QUALITY gauge (not a 10 dollar auto parts store cheapy) It is important that the threads on the gauge are as long as the spark plug threads, or you'll get a false reading. Depending on your altitude...at or near sea level...floating around the 100 PSI mark and it's time to freshen up the top end. Quote
