totally strange

Ok peeps, here's my deal. I've had a hard time starting my shee for awhile. So I've been doing an old trick that I picked up from my old yz 250. So after kicking and kicking, ill blow into the side hoses on the carbs and a gas will come out through the pods. After a couple of times doing that starts right up. But I get tired of that. What could that be an indication of. To much gas maybe??? Seems like when I clear the gas out the carbs it fires easily. Help please...thanks

sounds like your either flooding it or ur carbs are dirty and clogged

[sheerider11]

So you have to blow your bike to start it?

not sure how I would be flooding it? Will excessive kicking cause that? And yes by any means necessary

When you are blowing through the carb breathers you are forcing fuel through your pilot circuit and also up through your main jet circuit. The filter is getting saturated with fuel and when you go to kick it over the next time it fires up because you have all the extra fuel getting into the system. It sounds like your pilot jet is too small. Try and go up a size or two on the pilot jet and see what it does. When was the last time you removed and did a thorough cleaning on your carbs?

now that i think of it, sounds like the guy has a breathalyzer on his bike. either that or the alcohol vapor from his breath primes the engine

I just bought some used stock carbs with the tors removed so I checked everything then. But I am using the same jets 340 main and 27.5. So ill try to go up a size or two on the pilot. Thanks..
