will not start - Page 3

Ok, you do realize that if you stall your bike and it somehow floods that the gas will evaporate super quick. The odds of both the intake and exhaust valves being completely closed are super slim. Gas will evaporate very quickly. We just need to here more about this little problemo.

you do realize that Ive been stuck on the side of trails trying to get the damn bike to start because it flooded right? took two diffrent pull starting attempts for it to run again.

Ya, that is a major problem with our manly high compression 4 strokes. LOL, that is a price we have to pay for lots of horsepower.

wr250f95 · 02-07-2008, 08:43 AM

k, so Im going to lay it all down right here.
By some odd miracle in hell you can get the bike to start with out following the correct procedure.
He then stalls it and floods it.
Chances are its not going to start by just kicking the starter, he needs to follow the procedure.

tigmaster · 02-07-2008, 01:53 PM

But no matter what after sitting for more than 15 minutes it will start. He still could not get it started. No granted, kicking it over will just prolong the starting time but it should start if he walks out to it right now and kicks it over. That is, if nothing else is wrong. You can't argue with that logic.

if its running super rich or something idk

tigmaster · 02-07-2008, 02:00 PM

But how does a bike just be running then go to super rich? I mean sure, he could have forgotten to tighten his main and it dropped on into the bowl, but what are the odds of it even getting enough gas then?

gscx · 02-07-2008, 02:03 PM

just like i said, idk

pull starting?

i take the spark plug out and kick it about 5 times... fresh air in gas out

it would almost have to be a jet that changed, unless, the fluid was oil or water

maybe the float got stuck open and the overflow tube was clogged?

gscx · 02-07-2008, 02:14 PM

maybe, but that would seem like a big coincidence
