Need help
-
@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???
-
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
-
@vtrn_raptor Those 170 kits were actually pretty bullet proof.
-
Wasn't after the garage got hold of it
-
-
This is what the plug looks like now after riding and running for about 15 mins
-
@vtrn_raptor camera not focused properly but that defo looks like it's wet and oily and low temp so over fueling
-
@vtrn_raptor did you try without the side case
-
Not just yet but I have a question what is the throttle needle for and can the position it's in cause a problem
-
@vtrn_raptor yes it can cause problems
and it is another throttle stage for more fuel ie 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and -
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
-
@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
-
@vtrn_raptor but before you go tinkering as I said yesterday start from the top did you replenish the fuel
