Quick question how many times should you pull start a mini motard before it starts, anyone know?

cag07 · 07-10-2007, 03:35 PM

lol up to 10 times or till it starts,y?

Iwas just wondering by the way when your about to start your bike should the choke be open or closed

Ugh, Mike, you have the choke OPEN! You let it idle, let the gas flow and the engine warm up, and turn the choke off. I thought we were experimenting today anyways?

I know but i wanted to ask someone whohas been doing this for a longtime and knows about it more then us

Yes Sleeves We Are Experimenting With The Bike.....

Lmao.

LMAO JK buddy !
Cold starts usually require a choke , but once you have been riding it , should start without !
Depends on bike , some times mine took for ever , due to the high compression . But other times started in a sinch! so ! everyone will tell u something different !

wanna get real technical , with your experiments . Grab a micrometer and a 4 " piece of sodder.
Pull oout your spark plug , then after bending the sodder in a small L shape . This is to slide the spark plug hole , and angle so that the sodder is against the cylinder wall. Turn over engine , or give one spin of the engine with pull start . then pull it out and measure the thinckness of the sodder . It should be in the .5 mm from top , but usually you will find it is in the 1.0 - 2.0 mm areas . but adjusting the head of the cylinder or pulling out gaskets and using thinner ones or gasket maker you will bring out a bit more power !

i tried that ,removing my stock head gasket and the piston hits the top so bad it won`t turn over anymore once the piston is at tdc,is that normal?
