New DT starting issues
-
Hey guys am Derek, got my DTR on tuesday 02plate, was fully rebuilt before i got it and just drove home and put in a shed, i took it home on tuesday n struggled to get it running, today i cleaned plug and was sparking every time out of bike but black and oiled up when removed, cleaned with a bit of sandpaper n put back in, took bike outside kicked with choke on and it started straight away went up in revs and i blipped throttle n it died, took plug out again cleaned n dried and it was only intermittently sparking this time and i couldnt get bike going again, any tips appreciated! Lost a little coolant as dropped bike trying do bump it and i topped up the rad with a little water, will that be okay, before that the coolant was really green and strong looking im hopin its okay because i only put a little water in, ordered a new plug when came in should be here saturday, any tips, do alot of dts die when throttle blipped just after starting?. Any tips appreciated.. thanks..

Forgot to say it sat for 3 years after rebuild n i bought it, its got a new battery and will have a new plug on saturday hopefully.. if it starts with new plug should i leave it a few mins to run on choke before touching throttle?
@Deigo27 first thing is the plug, so get that done and you know that's good. Get a Haynes manual and make sure the oil pump is set correctly. Is the fuel New? Once started I leave mine running before riding for a couple of mins to get some heat in the barrel. Most importantly post up some pics!
