Hard starting TE610

I have finally got my 610 back together after a full rebuild but man is it hard to start, I can kick if over for ages before it will fire up and when it does it runs sweet as a nut. Has anybody had problems like this?

Hi,

I use the starting procedure others have suggested,

Ignition off.

Choke on.

Kick 5 times.

Ignition on.

Choke off.

1 kick to start.


I always like to make sure to have fresh fuel in the carby, so I drain the carby if it has been sitting a while.

How can I get around the having ignition turned off as I don't have a ignition to turn off only the stop button on the handle bars.

Hi,

Hold the stop button down.

Seriously, if this starting procedure works for you,

and this is the one I use.

Maybe get a different kill switch, one where it is able to be switched to the off position.

Thanks DaveM will give this a go.

Good Luck,

let me know how you go!

Ok so no luck with that starting method tryed another one that I Was told about,no choke a quarter kick slow then a full kick hard and away it went so I shut it down and tryed again to see if it was just sheer luck, quarter kick slow full kick hard and it went.

Sweet!

I will try that myself.

This is pretty much how I got mine to start.

The trouble with mine is I believe the slide and needle are worn.

This is common with the Dellorto carby.

Also I might need to change the pilot jet from the 62 to a 60.

Then mine might start like that Husaberg.
