Start Problem!

Post by deuss » Thu Sep 19, 2013 1:03 pm

Hi Folks,

i have encountered a following Problem.
When it stays for a few days under the rain with temp. +5+12C it does not start...
or it starts and works for 10-15 seconds and dies out...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Nikk

Hi Guys,

similar problem here.

Bike started okayish today in the afternoon, but dies shortly after.

Took the bike home on a trailer today (just purchased the bike) and can't get her to start again.

Any suggestions?
Looked through the forum, but the search return too many answers, many of which are unrelated.

Thanks and regards from Melbourne/AUS

UPDATE.......

Problem solved :D

It helps to read the forum and just switch the brain on before getting into panic mode.
Followed the instructions on how to remove the spark plugs (not easy with sort and fat fingers)
Cleaned them, put them back in and the bike started.

Let's hope that was all that needed to be done.

Cheers,
Marc

Check the drain hole on the left of the head isn't blocked and water is not pooling around the plugs.
I WOULD RATHER WEAR OUT THAN RUST

Plus TRXs have a tendency to foul the plugs unless you give the motor the odd thrash.
