Hey, I have a 2001 Mojave, i have the factory replacement k@n filter with a dg supertrapp pipe. I always had a weak spot in mid range power and it would run better with the choke on so I knew I was running lean. I finally decided to take it apart and jet it and I decided to get a carb rebuild kit as well since it didn't cost too much and my float valve looked pretty bad. Anyway, i put the kit in and went with a 138 jet to start with. So far I have not been able to get it to start without pulling it. Once I pull it it will run pretty good (i think it is rich so i might go to a 135) but if i let it sit for a few minutes it still won't start by just kicking it. It sounds like it is really close but won't fire. I put in a new spark plug and that didn't seem to help any. let me know if you have any ideas. thanks

 

some members have posted that out of adjustment valves will make it hard to start. Also try a fresh/hot battery and double check battery leads for tightness and corrosion.

 

i can only wish i had a battery (kick start), if I had electric start I might want to keep it but once i get it running right I am ready to get something different. As for the valves I will have to look into that, thanks for the info. later

What did the plug that you took out look like?
