hi guys,my name is paul and i am from Greece. this is my first post and i hope that anyone of you would be kind enough to help me.
i own a 95 fe 600 sm which has an 38mm dellorto vhsb.
it runs great but has a significant problem in starting when the engine is cold and the enviroment's temp. is below 10 celcius degrees.
i have read all about dellorto carbs in ducatimeccanica.com and also the hard starting guide.
the bike never starts with the choke lever pulled, it starts only with the following procedure: 3 kicks with choke on and 3 kicks with choke off.
note that i follow these steps many times so as to get it started in the above mentioned temperature.
when the husa is warm it only needs 1 kick to start wiyh the choke off.
when idling if i pull the choke on it dies.
the settings of the carb are these mentioned in manual and never been changed (it idles great).
valve clearance is according to factory, so is the sparkplug.
i clean the carb and air filters very often.
decompression is perfectly adjusted.
my guess is that the starting jet is a bit lean, can anyone more experienced than me (this is my first husa,bought it second handed at may 2004) help me?
