I haven't been able to ride my '02 TTR 250 for awhile and the weekend before last, I went to start it.
It would not start no matter what I did. :(
Drained the tank and refilled it. Pulled the carb and cleaned it top to bottom.
Bike started back up after all this.
Today, I went to make sure all was well by starting it again. Well it started right up, as I grinned ear to ear with my mechaincal genius.
I move over to the kids bike after a minute or two and notice the exhaust pip off the cylinder is RED HOT!
I jump over, push in the choke and it cools off. UHMMMM!
As I think it's over, I rev the engine some, and it starts to glow again.
All I can think it it's pig rich and the gas is burning in the pipe or it's lean as hell.
Any ideas and where to start?
TIA.
Jim
