ChipDip Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Great forum here ... glad I found it. my question is this: I just bought an old 76 TY250 ... it needs work but I love them. It started first kick when I got it home ... ran it around the property for about 2 mins and then the throttle cable snapped. The oil injector is disabled so the throttle cable is just a single to the carb. Anyway ... I had a new cable made up ... but now the bike wont start. Maybe 1 out of 10 kicks it catches for just a second then dies. Pulled the plug and kicked it ... getting what appears to be strong spark every kick. any thoughts?
ChipDip Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Well I solved it. Rebuilt the carb late last night .... Removed the wiring harness and cleaned all the contacts ... replaced two connectors that looked a little "iffy" New spark plug ... Fires first kick again ... Now that I know the motor/trans is good it is being stripped completely and getting a ground up resto
