Hi all, been on this forum for some time just never joined. I’ve gathered loads of useful information from here. It’s my go to source. So with that said I’ll get right into it.
I’ve got a 2 stroke 97 Trail Boss 250. I bought it last year and have been doing things to it to improve performance or repair. Now I have a starting issue. My carburetor needed to be rebuilt so I’ve rebuilt the carb. Looks almost new After reinstalling the bike was hard to start, I introduced starting fluid and she started right up. Couldn’t get it idle? I hopped on took it for a ride to get the fuel moving through and just give it a test. It ran awesome, picked up some HP. So I went back to throw my helmet on, but when I shut it off, I couldn’t get it started again. Now I can’t get it to start. What would cause this – and where would my first place to look be?
Electric start is not functional. Bendix is messed up. (That’s the next project)
I start it with pull start. Choked and not. Before carb rebuild it started on second/third pull.
