Well i went to start my 87 250r today and choked it and it fired up on second kick. was runnign for mabey 30 seconds and most and i turned off the choke and it died. I cant get it to start up any more! I kicked it for a good while. tryed both choke and non choke and it wouldn't fire up. I though mabey the plug was wet so i cleaned it off with some carb cleaner still didnt fire. ANy ideas? thanks!

Try a new plug,sometimes they get so fouled that they won't work any more.

 

is there still spark?

 

plug is pretty much brand new.

 

Robert, we just got you running buddy!

 

Hey its workin again. u just gotta give it gas when its starting up. yea lonestar! i couldn't get it started a day after it started for the first time in 8 years. I rode it again today and I cant get over how much power it has, it is just insane. on the street. Cant wait to try it at glamis.

 

What are you running your mix at, I think you said 20:1 right? That is wayyy to rich. What oil are you using? Read what the back of the bottle says and use their recommended mix. I would do something between 32:1 and 52:1, which is what I ran in my ATC and my CR250. Oh yea, it was Golden Spectro.

 

redline oil. yea its at about 22:1 super rich.

 

Whoa, way too rich. I personally don't like the oil you are using, but if thats what was ran in it before, keep using it. Bump up your ratio to about 32:1 and if it's still to rich 40:1 would be about perfect.

 

It hasn't been ran in this quad before. Its just the best oil I have right now i only mixed like a gallon just to get it running with. nothing that will last.
