Sounds to me more like an ignition issue, I had a similar problem when I shortened the wiring harness using a Dyna, the park brake wire wasn't grounded, it fired every time it was kicked, but wouldn't stay running. Don't know if this has anything to do with the issue you're having, just sounded like the problem I had. Quote

J-Madd Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 What are the specs on your carbs? Are they sync'd? Should be no problem in a heated garage. I assume its at least 60 degrees in there?? Quote

BigRed350x Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) If you don't like the harsh-ness of the ether, try and put a little bit of gas in a spray bottle. Spray your filters a little bit with some gas, them hold your throttle wide open and kick it over. That's how I've always started my methanol bikes. When you hold it wide open it pulls the gas vapors in and pops over nice & easy. If you had purged it, it would fire right up. Edited September 27, 2011 by BigRed350x Quote
J-Madd Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 Glad you got it started. I spray carb cleaner in the filters if needed when cold. Quote
