ohiobanshee Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Make sure that the choke tube is conected between both carbs. Quote
sheefreak Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 How many hours on the top end? If you turn it off and try to kickstart it right away does it start ok then? Quote
MSBansheeDrags Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 How many hours on the top end? If you turn it off and try to kickstart it right away does it start ok then? mine was doing that until i started turning the pingel valve off every time BEFORE i shut it down and leaving it off until after i have cranked it the next time...i think that gas was slowly leaking into the cylinders and flooding it...in fact, it sat for about a month or so during the winter with the gas valve open and completely flooded both cylinders to the point neither would turn over until i got all the excess gas out (they call it "hydraulicing" (sp??) or in other words trying to compress liquid---won't work)...BEWARE however, remember to turn the pingel back ON after you start it the next time, before you run the carb bowls dry, or you will have H__LL starting it again....dbr Quote

Just get accustomed to turning the valve off a little before or after you turn the bike off and your golden. If you happen to forget again and it wont crank (I do sometimes); you dont need to be pulled. Just take your seat off... and then the airbox lid...and then the filter. Get on it, start kicken, and it should start up; then just put everything back on. :wink: Quote

dajogejr Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 When there is so much fluid in the motor, it is called hydrolocking...and it's BAD.... That's how cranks and pistons get spit out the side of cases.... And running the carbs out of fuel is another bad one....there goes any and all lubrication the motor had when that happens. Quote
