Just what to start off by saying
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE HELP.
no i have not managed to start it yet
But i still appreciate the help.
Idle: yes that is actually the only way i could start it on the button when it was warm, let it spin a bit then drop the decomp lever, it was still hit and miss but it worked most of the time.
Like i said the mechanic stuffed the button so i need to fix that before i can play with the button start again.
Yesterday i recorded my attempt to start it so i could watch it back n see where i go wrong.
I think its a power thing, it stops short ov going to the bottom.
Gf home 2day so ill get her to record n post it.
I have tried afew ways with bits throttle to start, choke no choke etc basically have tried each of the suggestions separately.
not even a hint of life. but if im not turning it over quick/hard enough that would explain why.
So the mechanic adjusted the following:
- check and adjusted valve clearance
- replace spark plug
- pulled apart & cleaned the carby
- readjusted the jetting as it was running rich
- turned the idle up (about 200rpm)
so that cover pretty much everything going back thru all your suggestions.
and like i said he started it 3 times infront of me no problems.
The bike runs great. idles fine, very responsive etc
n have another go today and get the video cam out
