jlsparky7 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Heres the deal, the shee doesnt want to start very easily. I can kick it over and over 1/2 or full choke (yes the gas and switches are on) and it doesnt want to start. However if I shut the gas off, flip the shee up on the grab bar to drain the gas, push it bac kdown and turn the gas back on itll start in 2-3 kicks. What could be the problem? I think im gunna mess with the idle jet screw. It has new plugs in it and fresh gas.. Edited April 4, 2007 by jlsparky7 Quote
mpbanshee Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Remove the bowls from the carbs and spray carb cleaner and compressed air through all the jets and passages. Also check to make sure the floats arent sticking up. See if that works. Quote

Any chance the idle jet is playing a role in this? Quote
bansheeyfz Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 clean the carbs. and when you get it started adjust your idle screws. then maybe try adjusting your air screw. Quote
!TWISTER! Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 Once it started, if you stop it, does it start? If you let the engine cool does it start ? Quote
jlsparky7 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Posted April 5, 2007 Once it started, if you stop it, does it start? If you let the engine cool does it start ? It starts on the first kick everytime if the engine is warm. If its cold it takes awhile of kicking or emptying the carbs to start it. Quote
jlsparky7 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Turns out my carbs werent synced. Right one was .5 turns out and left one was 1.5 got em both at 1.5 and she starts within 3 kicks everytime now. Quote
