Hi Everyone.
I am a new owner and this is my first problem with my 03 FE501.
I have had the bike now for about 4 mths. Bought it 2nd hand from a long time Husaberg owner and it was well cared for. Have ridden it every 2nd weekend just for trail rides to get familiar with it and I have just done my first enduro on it. My early thoughts? Fantastic bike. Great handling and more than enough power for me. Spent some time dialing in the susp. for me, which was time well spent and more than enough adjustment out of the crate.
My problem? Well i have been very careful with oil & filter changes. valve adjustments, drying of stator , air filter cleaning etc and she has been running great. No starting or running problems at all and lots of fun. But after my first enduro last weekend where she ran great and had no starting issues at all, when i went to start her up again a week later no go at all. I could kick all i wanted and the motor will just give no indication of wanting to start at all.
After reading several posts I assumed that it must be the stator, so i downloaded the hard start guide and tested it. The stator seems to be fine according to the values in the HSG as the stator output and the spark are both fine.
Ok then,so I adjusted the valves just to eliminate this area but still no go. I can only think that it is the Carb. I have never had the carb off the bike as it has been running well, but could the problem be the carb as the bike was running perfectly before I turned it off ? :
Is there something else that I may be missing?
Regards
Stolliberg.

After that I take off the carb, remove the float bowl, and clean the dickens out of the thing. Lots of carb cleaner and compressed air. Reassemble, and wa-la ; its always worked for me. Good luck.
