My DT takes ages to start, I mean ages, I use it every weekend to go woods

Moved to workshop.

Try a new spark plug first and do a compression test.

Always choke on for few mins when first started up!!

New plug as dt502001 suggested

Ken

I've got a new plug in it, have rode it twice. Gearbox oil and plug has been changed recently.

Sorry Dirty Dt, didn't see the other categories

No problems Billy.

Do you leave your fuel tap on when parked?

Before you need to start it, take out the plug and describe the colour and dampness.

What happens if you try and start it with the fuel cap off?

What happens if you try and start it with the air filter off? - If it starts, turn it off as soon as possible. Don't let it run for too long

When was the last time the carb was cleaned out?

That should start you off. Let us know what happens on each.

I'm going to clean the carb, I've never cleaned it since I've had it so that might be the problem, I'll post the results when I've cleaned it, I'll get on it today! Thanks
