pilninggas Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 things to start with (maybe): blocked breather (common on trailies) knackered spark plug (v. common on 2 strokes) Loose or corroded electrical connections. the DT experts on here may know better than me!

Moderator Airhead Posted October 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2008 cheers m8 i put a new plug still doesnt work lol it doesnt start by the electric start i have to bump it lol Would i be right in thinking it starts ok on starter jet or choke ? (whichever is fitted) and then dies when you turn that off unless you keep the revs up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
