I recently got a 2003 400E model from the local Husqvarna dealer (in Romania, Eastern Europe),
the bike was not running, the stator was shot, the local husaberg shop change it with a new one, and the bike run, but was suffering from poor starting,
in the way that when cold it felt like the fuel has not enough, but once it started it ran fine, until restating, witch was sometime ok, but would still need a few
serious cranks, until one day when it left me for dead in the middle of a forest......
The local husaberg shop was not in the mood to work on it, the reason they gave me is
that in their experience the poor starting was a known problem with the dellotro equipped bikes, and the only solution is a 500 euro new keihin ........
Sow I had to get to the bottom of this my self, I got the repair manual and the info on the forum.....
I changed the battery with a new varta 4 A ( and plan a 7 or 11 A unit under the seat coupled with a starter mod for later ),
I cleaned the dellorto, checked the jetting and found a very strange jetting compared with the manual :
main jet : 185
needle jet: 270 DR
pilot jet: 33
choke jet: 40
From the diagram of the carb, http://www.dellorto.co.uk/editor/upload ... HMdiag.pdf ,
I do not have item nr. 4 the Idle emulsion tube under the pilot jet, I think.

From my research I found that tow version are on sale, can some one tell my which one to buy ?
I'm thinking to try the following setting from the husaberg.org site :
200MJ, DR266, K35 needle on C1, 40PJ, 3.25mm slide cutaway, 45 choke jet
From my research I have seen that the reasons that can affect the starting can be very complex, but since the electrics are ok,
I'm thinking that may be a fueling problem, and I should fix this before moving to other mechanical factors ?
What do you guys think ?
Thank you,
Alex.
