Need help

That's what i thought with my last Dt wouldn't start without choke had to keep choke on till it was warm could have been down to the fact it was a 170 but god knows that bike met it's bitter end when I trusted a garage with it and the Prick killed it then denied doing anything bad to it

[Calum]

@vtrn_raptor Those 170 kits were actually pretty bullet proof.

[vtrn_raptor]

Wasn't after the garage got hold of it

[vtrn_raptor]

This is what the plug looks like now after riding and running for about 15 mins

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor camera not focused properly but that defo looks like it's wet and oily and low temp so over fueling

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor did you try without the side case

[vtrn_raptor]

Not just yet but I have a question what is the throttle needle for and can the position it's in cause a problem

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor yes it can cause problems
and it is another throttle stage for more fuel ie 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and

[vtrn_raptor]

So this could be my issue. The guy I brought the bike off had pinned the pv and have messed about with the carb to get it to run after changing the piston I realised their must have been an air leak somewhere on the bike as wouldn't stay running. I took the carb off to discover the mixture screw was seized so I replaced the carb the only thing I haven't done is touch the needle on the throttle and left it how I got the bike

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor ok your better off do as @Calum said to you set the carb up as it was stock manual will have all the settings for you

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor but before you go tinkering as I said yesterday start from the top did you replenish the fuel

[vtrn_raptor]

Yeah has fresh fuel in the bike now

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor have you checked I know this is silly and I know I'm contradicting myself but considering I think its rich but check anyway is the fuel flowing fine from tank to carb

[vtrn_raptor]

Yeah it is, is this In the correct position

[terry.tz]

i think that is yes but you should check manual

[vtrn_raptor]

I've come to the conclusion something is wrong with the carb as wasn't having this problem with old carb but was running to lean that's the reason I got this one that's probably why I got the carb so cheap ..........

[Jens Eskildsen]

My clip is in the middle, yours is a noth lower, which raised the needle, making it richer.

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor have you documented the setting on the carb before you started playing with them

[vtrn_raptor]

The first carb couldn't check nothing as mixture screw was seized but with this one everything was set up how the Haynes said but looking at the carb compared to the old one theirs pipes missing it's got aftermarket hex screw holding the face on and what's worse is the kid I got it off kept his Dt and claimed the carb was a spare so was probably broke when I brought it can't really complain though only paid £25
