DT 125R not starting
-
Is the float blocked. Is the spark plug wet. Are you sure it's getting fuel.
Easy(dirty) way to check. Spray a lynx deodrant into the combustion chamber and try and start it. If it fires into life (even briefly) you know it's a fueling issue.

@Oisin Well it's a fueling issue then by the sounds of it.
Take the carb off and ensure the needle isn't shutting the float off.

@Calum I checked the float and adjusted it to be in line with the carb bidy itself. I cleaned out the fuel tank and tried again, still nothing. Any ideas on what gat I can do next? Would it be worth talking of the side panel of the carb and looking in there?
-
I'm sorry, I'm really confused.
The bike was working, you then broke a fuel line and now it doesn't work?
So quite clearly the only thing that's changed is that fuel line.
-
@Oisin maybe check said fuel pipe is actually allowing fuel to pass through. I presume it's a new pipe but stranger things have happened.
-
@markus-w I had this when I replaced it with a silicone host, it kinked and stopped fuel from flowing.
Use properly braided and rated fuel hose. Is my advice.
-
@Calum yes I agree. That's good advice. Some parts it doesn't matter so much but there's certain things you just can't skimp on.
