2004 FE450 E-start low crank and no start

votkarel · November 28th, 2020, 12:05 PM

I fixed the hot start for my FE450 using the valve adjusments as 0.6 turn .
very easy kickstart now, event not necessary to use the decomp when hot.

But the Estart not work.

Accu is just new , Exide AGM 110 A , i have 2 tried electric startes mitsuba in perfect state .

Starter turn over about 3 -4 seconds till stops, but it seems to have a low rpm and fuel not go inside from the carb due a low rpm.

The spring of automatic decomp need to be exchanged, its weak.

Is this Estart problem due decomp-spring? , or the jetting carb ?

I can never cold start mine with the battery and it's a 210CCA Shorai. First start of the day is always a carefully placed kick start. The sprague bearing is the issue when cold. This is supposed to fix it.

My 05 fe450 hasn't had any problems starting with the estart even with an older battery. Will it start with the estart hooked up to a truck battery?
