« on: August 16, 2012, 07:09:12 pm »
It finally turned up today turned the fuel on and it fired first kick then splutterd and died (ran out of fuel) put new fuel in and 50 kicks later(kicks back like a mule) when I was about to burst into flames (memorys of my it250 days)it started adjusted the idle so it wouldnt stall went for a run down the street all gears work could do with the tank and carb cleaned out but all good so far.

Ian sadly no tools i held my breath while opening the tool box but no joy. Now that ive bought this one there are 3 others not far from home that have come to light all the same owner from new hopefully they will be making the trek to my place soon. I had the bug sort of already my dad had a lightish metalic green dt1 250 when i was a kid and it vulcanised my gumboot to my leg on the header pipe while he was taking me on the tank for a ride never forgot that one.

Are they an auto-decompressor like the later 400's?  (decompressor activates during kickstart arc)

I know my IT400C kicks over like a 125 - even after a full rebuild....

have you checked that the decompressor's working?

pull that black plastic cover off (on the front of the barrel), the decompression valve is behind there.

check that it's actually opening when you move the lever.  There is some adjustment available.   ;D

i have a GYT barrell on my 360( no decomp) and its a bastard to start, the issue is it needs good spark to kick over in such a short kick stroke.  so check you also have plenty of blue flame.   As IT400 says, check if the decomp is actually working too, if the lever in the barrel is moving the pin in and out or not. might need to be pulled out and lubed up.

Also before you kick turn the bars to the left so your knee cap can't hit the bar , Im not joking it can happen Ive got the scars to prove it .
