JakeJones99 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I’ve got a 2011 Beta Evo 200 that won’t start. The bike has got fuel, air and a spark. Carb has just been taken off and cleaned, jets are good. Any suggestions? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemur Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Trouble-shooting section of the service manual will give you all the same questions we could possibly ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemur Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Get compression test done? 🤔 It's a 2-stroke, pull the spark plug, remove the kill switch magnet so you don't get a shock, plug the spark plug hole with your finger or thumb and turn the engine over slowly. Spark is useless if it happens at the wrong time, once you know it has compression check your ignition timing or you can't rule out ignition as being the issue. What is the recent history of the bike, is it fresh out of storage or was it running and then failed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with the choke but was absolutely screaming. Tried to adjust the idle whilst pulling the kill switch off and quickly putting it back on, so the bike wasn’t left screaming. Bike then died without the choke and wouldn’t start again. Something to have a play with again… run out of time tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Absolutely time to revisit the carburetor and if this is a carburetor where you can put the slide in rotated 180 degrees from where it should be, that is very likely the problem. Should take all of 5 minutes to check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
