honda x8r help

ive got a honda x8r and i fitted a polini 70cc bore kit, i fitted the reeds, idle jet that came with the 70s kit, i upjetted the carb and it runs fine but its starting the scooter is the problem can anyone help????

 

what u mean... explain
sometimes, maybe all the time. it is hard to start a fresh bore. but only for the start

 

i fitted a brand new 70cc bore kit on and it rides fine but i have trouble starting it???

 

choke?

 

that works fine could it be just running it in?

 

maybe what reeds are you useing?

 

im using carbon polini reeds

 

done a plug test ?

 

yeah done that plenty of spark and its running fine

 

no im on about if it is running lean or to rich

 

oh rite mine takes 3 kicks to get going

 

what you mean then?

 

i dont understand, so its only just starting it? so it takes 3 kicks to start (which starting is ur problem) but it starts anyway?
whats ur problem then, just because it takes 3 kicks to start it?

 

its fine starting it off the kickstart but it has trouble starting off the electric could it be my battery?

 

My midrace 70 always started on the button, well, till I removed the starter motor that is :whistle:

First port of call, check the batt voltage. Might be a dodgy reg/rec or battery.

And how did you do that then ? Because every person I know with a sport/mid-race/evo can't use a electric start ?

exactly

 

70s kit have more compression than a 50s and so ive been told most starters wont work on a 70s kit because of this. i don't no if this is fully true because i don't have a starter on my bike because of the smooth drive face and for weight loss. So my advice is to just stick to the kick start that way you can't go wrong. Hope this helped
