jack350 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Hey people. my mate just re bulid his engine and it started first kick.. after a couple of days it would start until we towed it behind a car and clutched it.. we went riding that weekend and ran it in and was fine for the two days.. when we arrived home and it wouldnt kick over again.. any HELP will be good. thanks Quote
NitroTate Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Kinda seems like you have a fuel flow issue. You shouldn't have to drag it behind a car at all. Did you clean your carbs up real good? Also make sure you have good fuel flow from your fuel valve all the way to the carbs. Get new fuel lines etc. Could also be your idle circuit jetting or idle screws. Once it's running try pulling the choke and riding, if it runs better your idle circuit jetting is too lean. Another thing it could be is your carb slides could be in backwards, that will make it hard to start and run bad sometimes when it's running. Pull your carb slides out and look for a little "ping" mark on the side of the slides... that ping mark should face to the RIGHT side of the bike on both carbs. Quote
okbeast Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Actually when you have to pull start one it means something electrical. If everything is not setup right or there is an issue you cannot get enough spark by just kicking it over. Quote

If everything is not setup right or there is an issue you cannot get enough spark by just kicking it over. Yeah it could be but you think so even when it ran fine a few times once started? To me it seems like the carb slides are in wrong or the idle circuit is way off. But yeah it could be electrical too I suppose Quote
okbeast Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 If the carb slides are in wrong it wont run good at all. It'll just kinda bog when he tries to get into it, been there done that, it's really shitty until you figure it out. Quote

Yeah I've been there too... :biggrin: for quite a while I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to start and sometimes ran ok but sometimes like crap... Quote
Pardee208 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 check your pilots. and the choke jet. located in the bowl on the choke side. my girls she had the same problem. jumped up to a 27.5 pilot and plus the choke jet was pluged, most likely not an electrical issue, but for good reason you should check spark Quote
