need help, enduro won't start, electric start.
well the bikes been standing for a good while, half a year maybe more.
and just fitted new battery and throttle cable but when i goto start it with the electric start it won't come to life, it makes the noise, 'dugadugadugadugadugadugaduga' and every 'duga' a bit of smoke comes out the exhaust and theres about 3 dugas a second.
if that makes sense.
it won't come to life though.
could it be ****ty fuel?

Re: need help, enduro won't start, electric start.
LOOOOL at your impression.
Well if it is making that noise and is smoking then it is turning over and you have a spark so your problem is fueling. Get some fresh fuel in there and try that.

Re: need help, enduro won't start, electric start.
the pit bike's petrols in, which is clean and it still doesn't start.
the battery metre is top but when i keep hold of the electric start it goes down to 2 bars out of 10, this normal or not?

Re: need help, enduro won't start, electric start.
right, I'm going to fill up the tank with fresh fuel,charge the battery and switch the carbs round with my mikuni of my pit bike (would it still be legal on a cbt at 17?), that should do the trick.
