Need help

Or could this isue be down to stale petrol as it's probably been sat in the bike for 2-4 months
-
@vtrn_raptor stale fuel certainly won't be helping. I suggest you get some fresh in there
-
for instance my brothers cbr 600f just stopped running when we were going out one day I started taking the carb off and seen a fuel pump and the carbs still got cleaned but it was the fuel pump so didn't even have to be cleaned they were minging anyways though the point is start from the top if I had checked the pump, to begin with, time would not have been wasted if fact I would have told him don't worry the bike would be fine without it there for extra fuel at really high rpm and just taken it out at the side of the road that day and we would have had a good day out
-
@vtrn_raptor hahaha this is perfect exactly what I mean
how long it been in there and that probably not it thou but don't help matters -
@vtrn_raptor there is no pump on a dt was using the story as example
-
What kinda fuel do you use on a dt my last one I was running high octane
-
@vtrn_raptor said in Need help:
exhaust is filled
no
@vtrn_raptor said in Need help:
stale petrol
no, but change anyway not a good thing when you have carb problems
@vtrn_raptor said in Need help:
What kinda fuel
any for me I did always run v-power or super at bp but in the DT I'm not bothered

I mean it goes to die before it's warm to keep it going I have to keep the throttle on but anyway just took for a little test ride without the snorkel and was a massive improvement but powervalve still won't kick it it goes to then starts to bog but stays running and it's actually rideable
Fuck sake.
When the engine starts to die, turn the choke off.
Regardless of Terry's bike, or anyone elses, I know from personal experience that my bike never started without choke. Needed it for about 30 seconds, or until it's about to die off. Then choke off. Then ride it until it's up to temperature.
-
I'll take it for a longer ride later with some fresh fuel and see how it is as didn't take it very far earlier and go from their as bike hasn't been riden in about 2 months and only done 30miles on new piston
-
@vtrn_raptor Not being funny. My DT was off the road two years. Literally kicked it over on a brand new engine and road it fine.
Same fuel, didn't even bother charging the battery.
So I doubt it's the fuel really.
-
Fuck sake.
calm down I didn't contradict you pal every bike has its own character and our bikes are clearly different I did not say it's bad or good I just said mine starts fine cold without choke runs sweet with a nice brown tinge to the tip now I played a bit with the carb im just saying to him don't worry about that its a sign, not an issue

@terry-tz Nah not aimed at you bud.
I said in my previous post that once it starts to die down he needs to take the choke off. Choke is just for that initial few moments.
I was annoyed because it seemed like he didn't read my post. Wasn't digging at you bud.

I did read it just thought you meant it was supposed to stay running with it on
-
@vtrn_raptor Nope. Once it starts to die off, that's when choke is not needed.
I remember when I was a wee lad going to school, I used to start the DT, choke on, by the time I walked to lock the house, put my thermals on, the bike had cut out. So needed to start it with choke off.
Doesn't take long.
-
I've learnt that every bikes different kept comparing this one to my last one and boy what a mistake that was
-
My DTR would never start without the choke on, even when the engine was hot. It was always choke on, kick start, then either run for a bit when cold or choke off as soon as I had my helmet and gloves on when the engine was previously warm. I just assumed that was how it was???
