AndrewElvisFan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Welcome to the forum! It's normal to say hi in the new members section first - introduce yourself etc - you'll get a lot more help! That said, probably needs a new battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o5otato5o Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Recent new battery i thought the same hope not this ones only 2 month old what could cause battery kill And really sorry but need bike for work so was trying to be quick but will post asap in the new members section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What is happening when you press the button? Does the starter turn? After you've bumped her and she won't start again, does it make any difference using the choke? How did you clean the carb? Were all holes clear? Did you reset the screws correctly? When you bump her, does she idle right and does the throttle respond? Try using the search function on here - I had a similar problem and you may find the answers! If not give us all a little more info as to what has and is happening. There are a few of us on here (most with more knowledge than me!) with SR's and someone may be able to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My SR would be a sod to restart after stopping for a few minutes when the engine was warm. Sorted itself after I cleaned the carb etc. sounds like there may be more than one problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 13, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2014 Running - can you turn the idle up to keep it running? Tappets -these need to be accurate with the right gaps. As said before - what happens when you push the start button? Has the bike ever run correctly? Has this just started? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 So when it's cold it's ok (other than having to bump)? Is the air filter clean? What does the plug look like after being run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think that's too rich. I think somewhere in my thread I put how far to unscrew the air screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
