lewis_gasgas Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 My mate and his dad have got a 03 pro for his brother for christmas , he says that he cant get it too start , petrols going through , sparks pretty decent , but wont start , he also said the plug just oils all all the time , but they mainly have betas which is a different bike to oiling up from my experience. Any tips or advice i could tell my friend to see if he can get it going ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalshell Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 all you need is spark, fuel, air make sure plug is clean, correct spec and gapped up correctly and sparks ok when kicked over resting on head. make sure petrol is 'fresh' + has right ratio of oil flood the carb, if it has a tickler or a choke lean the bike to one side to flood the float chamber stand bike up right and she should start ok if not and you have never had bike running give it squirt of 'quick start' it should start or at least try to with a spray of that stuff. if it wants to start but wont run on persist. if not get another present..

glenn Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I found with my 03 280 pro that if the there was not enough oil on the air filter that it would not start. Also will not run with air box lid off, or any air box leaks. Cheers Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
