Paul Phoenix Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Hey guys, Went to start the bike, but wouldn't turn over, said battery was minimal, when i had it on the charger the other day said it was fine. anyway oiked out the kick start, it turned over with choke out, got the revs up for a minute and slowly let out the throttle, engine cut out, repeated the same process with same effect a number of times. It seems it will turn over but then just cuts out if I release throttle or put choke in... Any ideas? Regards Paul
Moderator Airhead Posted December 7, 2012 Moderator Posted December 7, 2012 is it fuel injection or carburated?
Paul Phoenix Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Hi airhead, its Carburated. I'm not very technically minded, but that is one thing I do know
Moderator Airhead Posted December 7, 2012 Moderator Posted December 7, 2012 It might be a blocked pilot jet then Paul
Paul Phoenix Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Cheers, like i said im not very technical, but im willing to have a go Is it an 'easy' issue to resolve? Just been topic hopping to see if anyone's had a similar problem from what I've read could the carb be flooded too?
Moderator Airhead Posted December 7, 2012 Moderator Posted December 7, 2012 well it usually means removing the carb and then removing the float bowl from the carb in order to het at the jets, caution though*** the bowl screws are always tight if they have never been off before and you should use a perfect condition philips (not posidrive) screwdriver of exactly the right size or you will round off the screws and wish you'd asked someone to do it for you! The pilot jet usually sits in a recess and requires again (important) the correct size screwdriver...one slip and its buggered...all of it, yeah I know it's all laden with DOOM but I just dont want you to feck it up see
