    have blown out the jets but theres one i cant get out as the housing is bured over preventing it coming out. any suggestions on what i can do would be appreciated?. will try some carb cleaner on it aswell dont really want to have to buy another carb as there bloody expensive. compression seems good and is creating a good vacum so its deffinetly the carb. thanks

    ok tap is working fine and the bowl is filling up so seems like one of the jets has to be blocked. havent been able to check the float height yet as i cant find the haynes manual. is the float height likely to cause tthis kind of problem? was trying to find somewhere online that sells jet kits for dtr but cant seem to find any. thanks again

    ok just been out and tried bumping it down a steep hill in third and nothing at all didnt even fire. cleaned plug and kicked it and nothing cleaned plug again lil bit easystart and fired again but still wont start. have took the carb off and brought it in the house gona strip it down and cleaning it also going to check float height. bloody pile of crap i would take the engine back but the guy was much bigger than me lol.

    havnt done compression test as dont have tester. plug is dry after couple off kicks but will foul up after about 20 kicks and several swear words and seems quite oily . squirting easystart into the airintake and it fires but doesnt start. thanks

    not sure about the starter jet but has a choke but dont know how to check it is working. its a flatslide mikuni carb. the strangest thing is when i try bumping the bike it wont fire at all but does off the kickstart. i havent got a clue why it would be doing that so any ideas would be a great help.

    hi ive got a husqvarna wr125 1991 with a yamaha dtr 125 1996 engine in it but i have been unable to get the engine started since fitting it. it has good compression and im getting a good spark it will fire with a bit easy start but wont actually start. i have tried fresh fuel/2 stroke cleaned out carb/jets although there was one i couldnt get out but blew it all through with airline and seemed ok. i am premixing the fuel/2stroke in the tank at 30/1 is this a good mix? any help would be much apreciated as i started this project over a year ago and its driving me mad now. thanks all

  12. ok thanks i will take some pics tonight and put on 2moro. is there any features on the engine/cdi unit that will help to age the engine? as far as i know it has to be newer than 1988 so think you could be right about 93. thanks again.
