ledofthezep Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I'm trading off my 2nd shee tomorrow. Well I can't get the POS to start, I haven't had it started since the clutch went out on it. Now I can't get it to fire. It's got 150lbs compression on each cylinder, is getting fire & fuel but isn't firing up. Any suggestions? I just need to be able to start the fucker when I get to the dealership(4hrs away) Could I use some starting fluid? Think it would help...would I spray it in the cylinders or what? My foot's blistered from kicking the damn thing soo much. And I can't pull start it because the clutch is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Oh yeah,...it's got the graydon single carb setup also. Plugs look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 drain the float bowl and put 2 brand new plugs in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Thanks Meat, I'll give'r a shot. Any other things to try to force the bitch to start? I know it runs fine, just hasn't been started in some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Starting fluid would be a bad idea. It immediately washes the oil off the parts that need the oil. But, you are trading it in, so, I guess you could try it. I am thinking your carbs may be gumed up. What oil do you use? Like meat said, fuel delivery could be a problem. I would not stop at draining the carbs. I would pull them off and clean them. The pilot jets could be shitted up. And new plugs could help like mentioned as well......

WickedBanshee Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 might sound dumb, but make sure your gas is turned on. i'd check the carbs too. make sure they are opening and everything. clean em if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Right on, thanks guys. I'll pull the carb off & clean the shit out of it, throw in some new plugs & go from there. Shee's getting fuel & spark. I'm wondering if the length of the carb intake is causing any problems. I don't know...but I do know that I've got to get it running. Oh yeah,...I'm mixing 927 @ 40:1.

cgamla Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 I used to start mine with starting fluid all the time. If I let it sit it would never start by kicking it alone and I couldn't push start it. Also one thing to remeber is that alot of two-stroke premix's fall out of suspension and will actually accumulate in the carb bowls. It might be a good idea to drain the bowls and shake the tank a bunch. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
