Magician 250 enduro won't star

Mcomfort · 03-13-2017, 09:43 PM

I just put together my new magician 250 and it will not start. I have the fuel valve on and choke set. Cranks but won't start. Anyone have the same issue?

The red kill switch has to be set to the right

And the first start will take a lot more cranking than you would think

Take your time it's always something small,she will crank up eventually.She has the Hawk in her blood.

Did you try turning the throttle a little while cranking it? Are you using the stock spark plug?

FYI, mine took longer than I expected to start for the first time too.

Did you set the valves yet?

I had the single, an 82

Foolishly sold it during a time of weakness

Have you checked for spark ?

Ascot500 · 03-14-2017, 12:02 PM

If you have spark and the valves are correctly adjusted, try a different position for the choke - mine will start on the mid position but not on full choke

What is the oil level in the crankcase?

Oil level,fuel,spark,crank,ignition..

I killed the battery on my Hawk the first day trying to start it. Adjusted the valves and it fired right up.

I have same problem. Im almost through the entire harness and everything checks out good but no spark.

Make sure that kickstand is up. Kickstand has as a kill switch attached; when the kickstand is down, the ignition circuit is open.
