TT250 no start

mtiberio · 08-21-2016, 07:25 AM

Left town for 6 weeks. Ran float bowls dry before I left. Now, not do much as a cough?

Suggestions?

Tap the float bowl.

Do the lights work? Starter turn the bike over? How's the battery voltage? Does you bike have an alarm/remote start? Did you charge/maintain the battery while you were gone for 6 weeks?

Fuel, Air, Spark, lets find out what one (or more) is missing from your TT250

Thanks y'all. Bone head move on my part. I pulled the spark plug cap before I left as a "security" measure. Worked for me, delayed riding for 12 hours... Where is the red faced emoji?

Don't feel bad, been there done that....

Bought a riding mower at home depot....It was a filthy floor model that sat out front of the store most of the winter....

Dragged it home for less than half price, needed a gas cap and a nut bolt or two. Washed it down, charged it up and all it did was crank....around the time I was thinking I was a fool not to spend 500 more on a perfect clean one I thought I'd check the plug wire to find it dangling....lol

After I got the TT project back together, with the new fuel line, filter and carb, I ran it quickly on the rack to make sure it started, then ran the float bowl dry.

Off there rack, ready for test ride, it wouldn't start.... I thought something was woefully wrong or that I'd messed something up....but it took FOREVER for fuel to get down the fuel line, through the filter, to the carb.

It happens...........
