My mojave is very hard to start i need to compretion start it a lot because its so tireing to kick and bogs out when you give it a lot of gas also sometimes i misses and backfires it has great strong spark great on compretion i clean the carb the other day and found a pice of leave louged in a jet i removed that all else looked good havent yet tested to see if it worked but does any one have any ideas on it

 

if you think its getting too much gas then pull the plug and see if its wet, or fuel in the cylinder. wipeing the plug off can help you on the next try

 

if it is flooding how do i fix it Mery Christmas

 

are you pumping the throttel at all? or is the choke on?

if you let it set, see if the carb body has any gas in it...if so you may have a warn needle and seat. that would be the most common flooding problem if the choke is closed and you are not pumping the throttel.

if you have had the quat along time and its just starting to do this i would bet the needle and main jet are warn

 

well when i took the carb apart the needle's tip was black normal

 

and yes the choke is on when its cold i use to pump the throttel untill i was told that is was bad for this carb

 

that can indicate wear on the needle, usually the needle will be one consistant color, no blemishes or rings ect. i suggest replaceing
http://www.bikebandit.com/ hit OEM parts, easy fix and wont cost alot of $'s

ok, dont pump the throttle, and try starting it with only part choke.

but this will only help if you are sure that its flooding the cylinder & plug. if its oil, not gas that is doing it then you are not flooding.

 

ok i will try that thank you

 

well how do you check to see if it is oil

 

it does smoke like a bitch on start up exscuse the language and smokes a little on high rev also i need to change the oil because the pevious owner has been running 10W30 in it and its supose to be 10W40 i was told
