ANOTHER problem, bike won't start!

[KTMKID]

hey mate did you use any water to clean ur carby or is it possible that water may have got into your carb while you were washing your bike the last time you did so?.... Because this sounds exactly the same as what happened to my bike, it would start with aerostart only... then i took the carby off and gave it a really good clean and noticed that when i emptied the bowl there was soapy water in the petrol... as soon as i got rid of that i chuked the carb bak on and the bike started firts kick! hope it helps ya mate....if not you may have a lemon!

Ok I have an update. It's my carby. We put my brother's carby on my bike and it worked fine.

What could it be? I have obviously done something while cleaning it yesterday. Could it be the foam thing I posted a picture of? Because I was spraying the carby with the cleaner and hit that and it caused it to become unstuck a bit because the cleaner hit the glue.

If it is water, what's the best way to get it out because it could be in one of the tiny bronze bits.

yes most likely dirt or something stuck in the jets, just get some CARBY CLEAN (spray can style) sray the hell out of it & you should be good

[Dozza]

If it was dirt or something again wouldn't it be overflowing out of one of the breathers? I noticed the back of the carby with the foam filter thing on it can spin around. Could it be that thing is set at the wrong spot?

pull both the carbs apart and compare them till you find something different

[Dozza]

I fixed it! Just gave it a 2nd clean and it started. Took it for a ride just then it was mad.

A small second problem now though lol. My bike doesn't idle properly. It idles for about a 1 minute then cuts out. It was warmed up well too because I was riding it around. I heard that there was some sort of idle screw on the bike though that you can twist to fix this?

check ur gaskets when i cleaned my carby out and put it back onto the intake/engine i recked a gasket if the gasket is worn or ripped go to a auto shop and buy some gasket paper its onli a couple of bucks for a roll

hope i helped

[Dozza]

What are the gaskets? Are they the things I have circled in this pic? What do they have to do with it conking out when idling?

yea its the number 3 at the top just use the inlet manifold as a stencle and trace around it and then cut it out easy as.
