bluebanshee7 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Rebuilt my shee back to stock with fmf pipes. Has 280 main and 27.5 pilot. When I turn my gas on and kick it a bunch of times it wants to start but never does. I tried starter fluid and drained the carbs a couple times. When I drain my carbs I feel like it has alot of gas in there. Could they be flooding as soon as I turned the gas on? Also after all the kicking my plugs aren't wet at all. They are brand new plugs so should they be wet? Any othe ideas why this thing wouldn't be starting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 #1 overlooked thing is missing the choke crossover tube. After that needles stuck shut to seats, but not usually both at once. If it was flooding it would run out the overflow tubes. Dry plugs = no fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry plugs = no fuel I felt under my reed cages where the gasket is and there's alot of fuel under there. I have a gasket going from the reed cage to the jugs but don't have a gasket going from the reeds to the carb side. Do I need a gasket there?

willaduncan Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Are you getting spark? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee7 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yes, did you do a leak down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have spark and I put the gasket on both sides of the reed cage. I built my leak tester the other day, I just made it with the wrong size pvc so I just have to add one size smaller and I can do my leak test. I'll let you know results.

Larry's Shee Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Over tightening reed bolts warps the cages causing leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
