DR350 Starting

[WalkeruK88]

Brother in law had a few problems with his 93 DR350 Kickstart 3 years off electric =(

Doesnt make any attempt to start at all and then all of a sudden it does. after several kicks 40+

Put choke on and kicked over numerous times but the spark plug tip was dry

Jets been cleaned and so has carb he cant get to the bottom of it.

any ideas

Hmm a weird one that... if it were electrical then you'd be expecting wet plugs???

Is the carb actually getting the fuel in? perhaps the float is not working properly stuck probably, starveing it of fuel... (try taping it firmly before starting)

What i'd do is take everything from the tank to the carb off, check it and clean it untill something turned up... check the carb settings as well, also for air leaks as they dont help starting...

Does the bike run ok once its started? if so it might be electrical/knacklered leads perhaps...

Good luck getting it going though, kickstsrtds are all big and clever till something goes wrong

bike runs absolutely fine when working

i dont know anything about bikes
but before he came over he said he changed the floats to help it start better

ill tell him to tape it or whatever hopefully thatll solve the problem.
