Still starting problems
Hi guys
Still having problems starting the TS185 ! its from 79.
I've got good compression and spark, there's plenty of fuel getting into the carb, maybe too much. If I kick it over there is excess coming from the overflow pipe on the bottom of the carb. The only way to start the thing is to remove the plug spray in the easy start refit it and kick it over, then it start and runs very well. A little blue smoke when cold but this soon goes.
The air side is all new, filter and rubber blocks, gasket sealant between engine and carb. I've stripped and cleaned the carb, it all looked good. I'm thinking its the jets either scratched when cleaned or warn. Does anyone know where I can buy parts for the Mikuni VM2955 29mm carb ?? my local Suzuki dealer tells me they're no longer available. Or a good second hand carb !
Maybe adjustment ! would this stop it starting ? but enable good running once started ?
Is it at all possible to retro fit an electric start from another bike ? if so which bike and what parts are needed ?
Thanks again in advance,
Matt
