Carburettor/Bike problems....still!

[2strokesteve89]

Hurry up and fix it so you can tell us who is right( if anyone)

Lol slow and steady wins the race

Haha nah I'm doing my best. Should have it ready by Friday if I have fixed the issue with the valve adjustment that is

 

[ossagp]

So far I haven't seen one fail to start because of excess valve clearance. Through all this, is your spark plug still coming out dry?

 

[pdee4t]

Yeah its pretty dry. Its a nice crisp brown colour like a pancake. It wasn't very wet

Dammit now I'm hungry, go with ossa and check the fuel issue, the plug should be wet by now with all the trying to start and no fire

 

[pdee4t]

Well it wasn't very wet at all. What's that indicating?
I've done everything I possibly could regarding the fuel issue.
I even used my mates carby that came off his perfectly running KTM and tested it and still had same problem.

. Try starting it while spraying carb clean or starting fluid insir box, if it starts or tries fuel is your problem, because like ossa was saying ifyour plug is dry likely no fuel is making it to cylinder

 

[pdee4t]

Yeah i'll give that a try once it's all completely back together and if I'm still having problems. Will let everyone know my findings

 

[pdee4t]

My battery read just below 8 bolts during cranking even though it's a new battery. So im wondering if that could've been a possible cause.

You have too many things going on at once. Just because the battery is brand new doesn't mean anything. Put it on a battery charger and charge it.

 

[pdee4t]

I did. Then when I cranked the bike the battery kept draining too quickly. Especially because my starter motor is aftermarket and is higher powered.
I had to keep putting it on the charger every time after cranking the bike trying to get it to start.
With the kick starter the bike kept firing and would barely start but when it did it ran poorly then died

 

[ossagp]

Did you check fuel flow from the tank? Does it try to start without the choke?

 

[pdee4t]

Yeah I tested that. Fuel flow from the tank is normal.
I tried with and without choke, same result. Although it was a little easier and tried to fire more without the choke

 

[ossagp]

I am not familiar with that particular engine. Has it run decently since the rebuild at all?

 

[pdee4t]

Yeah for the first week since the rebuild it ran beautifully.
Then this issue started.
That's what is confusing about it
