hi the voltage was ok. basically i purchased the bike as a non runner,got it going in about 5 minutes cleaned out carb adjusted the float height,put carb back on then bike wouldnt stat.put a spare coil on still no luck.then after a couple of days i checked for spark which i have had all along and hey presto bike started adjusted tickover mixture bike running lovely.i thenthen put all the bike back together and now it wont start again do you think it could be the cdi ? regards Dave

hi i got my xt 550 running great then taped all my loose wires up and now it wont start again. how do i check the wires from the gen ? or could it be the cdi is there any way of checking ? thanks Dave

any ideas ?

hi i have just got an xt 550 as a non starter. anyway got the bike going without too much trouble but it will not tick over without the tickover being set to say 1200 rpm if i try to slow it down it just dies,then when i ride the bike it pulls really well up to about 4500 rpm then just dosent want to know. i have cleaned the cartb out it has a new float,spark plug is ok. any ideas thanks Dave took the carb of today just to check put it back on andd now the bike will not start petrol is getting through and i have a spark ?

hi its got a new plug i have checked the carb but will check again. not done a compression test but the bike rides fine ?

hi i have a dt 125 that starts straight away then stalls straight away(will not rev) the headgasket had blown i thought it was that but no,its had new air filter,new plug cleaned out carb and it still will not start properly once its going after about 6 or seven kicks and warms up rides fine and starts fine. cheers Dave
