Need help
-
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
-
Yeah has fresh fuel in the bike now
-
@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
-
Yeah it is, is this In the correct position
