I have a Mini Falcon Deluxe and it usually takes me anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes to get this thing started each time . There is only about 3 hours on the bike total . I try it with the choke on & off , try to give it gas when starting . Is there something I am doing wrong ?

 

Has it been hard to start since day one? How does it run when you do get it running. It sounds to me like the valves may need adjusted.

 

Yes , hard starting since day one . Once I get it running it runs and restarts like a champ ..It is a very durable little bike .

I am not that mechanically inclined when it comes to automotives , How do you adjust the valves ?

 

if you have a fuel shut off , try closing it after riding. doing this, made my 110 falcon fire up quicker than it had been.

 

Sounds like you need to do some carb adjustments. Look at my HOW TO carb adjustment guide in this forum. It will get you going.

Yeah, that too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

2many,

I am detecting a trend here. Every time you suggest valves, I suggest carb. Everytime I suggest valves, you suggest carb. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I guess it could be either or but the older the quad the more likely its the valves. The newer the quad is more likely carb. Both have the same symptoms though.

 

Only picking on you.

 

Oh I know!
