Well I got my new Boyesen power reeds in and it started up in a few kicks then after I got it started the first time it would start on at the most the third kick but now it takes forever to start again it is firing great and it getting plenty of fuel and has good compression I just cant figure it out any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I am not sure, but do you need to rejet? You mentioned compression and fuel, what about spark?

 

Yes it has a great spark thats what I meant by firing well.

 

Oh sorry, misunderstood. Ummm... sorry but I don't know. I am a little confused too, will it start after alot of kicking? or not at all? I dunno, try pulling it behind your Bayou or something, and I would guess you have to rejet.

 

Try going richer on the piolit jet. Maybe that will help richen it just enough.

 

It starts after quite a few kicks but when it starts it runs lik it came off the showroom floor.

 

this has to be a choke problem. Im assuming your using the choke yeah? Not all bikes use the choke tho. After a while you should develope a starting style that works for your bike. With mine, i dont use the choke, i do two slow kicks to the bottom, one quick kick with the throttle wide open and one with it closed and she starts everytime (unless ive stuffed about with the carby hehe ie from other post!). Just try a few things. ie half choke, full choke, half throttle, no thottle etc etc etc

 

Yea, learing the trick of starting it is important, for my 250R I have to choke it, kick it twice slow and then kick it over hard and it''l start.

 

I have a hard time starting my zilla if it has sat for a couple of days.
I haven't had it long enough to master the starting procedure. If it's time to ride I eat a box of wheaties and go start kicking. I'm working on the trick though.
