[QUOTE="George S., post: 667873, member: 32684"] A hot start kit is simply a small valve attached to your handlebars with a tube that runs down to a fitting installed on the intake manifold (between the carb and cylinder). This allows fresh air directly into the combustion chamber when the valve is open, effectively leaning out the flooded chamber. They are really worth the price and pretty easy to install. Xr's can be very hard to start after a fall or if stalled when hot. Another trick for starting cold is to increase the idle speed about 1/2 or 3/4 turn, then lower it again once the motor starts to warm up. Some more tips for flooded engine: hold in the decomp lever while kicking about 10 times to help 'pump out' the chamber, drain the carb (the screw all the way at the bottom of the carb, just above the hose) turn off the fuel from the gas tank until it gets running. Bump starting in 2nd or 3rd gear has always worked for me, even when everything else failed to start the bike. [/QUOTE]
