This is the first time I’ve done one of these forum thingys so bare with me!
Basically the engine in my DBXL was running around a month ago but not brilliantly. At the start of the week i went to start it but it wasn’t having it. For the entire of this week i have been spending my evenings trying to work out why its not starting. So far i have:
Fitted a brand new spark plug
Cleaned the carb twice
Drained all fuel out of it and replaced with new
Put the stock exhaust back on
When i put the choke lever down it coughs a bit and runs for around a second like usual, however when i take it off choke it runs for around 2 seconds if I’m lucky and then dies. If i try and pull it without the choke after this then it doesn’t even fire so i have to start the process all over again with much frustration. HELP, what do i do as I’m out of ideas!
