Any ideas lads?
So far I've taken the carb apart and made sure main and pilot jets are clean, given it a new spark plug (there's a good spark).
The only way I can get it to go is by taking the spark plug out and squirting some carb cleaner or easy start into the cylinder then it fires up for a few seconds, I do this a few times and it manages to go.
Once my lads been on it it runs and starts like a dream but then next weekend the saga continues! Getting a bit annoying now, I was thinking maybe faulty choke/cable but how can I test this? ____________________ 2012 KTM EXC 250

I posted this in the wrong section but anyway I've found out what the problem was in case anyone does a search in the future!
My lad had been turning the air/fuel mixture screw when we where fixing or cleaning our bikes and I hadn't noticed I only noticed when I went to reset all the mixture and idle screws and found it was barely hanging in!
So there we go  ____________________ 2012 KTM EXC 250
