1988 Suzuki lt250r Hard to start
Need help trouble shooting my 1988 Suzuki lt250r. Hard to get started, will kick on the thing for an hour but roll starts within 15ft, once started it runs and idles great. And if still warm will kick start first or second kick. Installed a new ignition coil and a Racing Competition NGK B9EGV spark plug, has great blue spark every kick. Reeds all look great, piston and cylinder look great and has good compression.Cleaned the carb really good and put in new gas mixed 32:1. Stock bore with wiseco piston, stock carburetor no airbox k&n filter, and fmf silencer. Have no idea why it doesn't want to kick start. Any ideas?

It reads 155. I just opened the top end a day ago and the cylinder and piston looked excellent. I am finding some alittle but of a oily substance on the bottom of the motor around where the swing arm Bolt goes and a little bit towards the front of the motor but there are no cracks in the case. Just a little bit of this substance not enought to drip.

Ok thanks for the help. I do notice that after a kicking for awhile it will start leaking a lot of gas out of a tube on the carb, so maybe the float is set too high? So I'll check the choke, and anyone no what jet a should be running? All it has done that I know of is the fmf silencer, K&N filter with no box, and the stock mikuni carb with a twist throttle. Like I said it runs amazing with tons of power and speed when I get it started and will start first kick if still warm so I don't think it's the crank seal because that would probably cause it to run funny.
