Is anyone bringing (or able to bring) an external starter (or rollers what ever) to mt wellington this weekend? I just spent almost an hour trying to start the cb. Either its really off timing because of the cam chain tensioner or the valves are way off because this is getting ridiculous.By the time it starts firing it is already too slow to push it into life so it stalls.

Compression, spark, gas.

Before you try crash starting it, are you making sure it's not in the compression?.
If not turn it over so its not in the compression, grab the clutch and go from there.
Its probabaly down to your technique?
Don't grab a hand fill of gas. Its probabaly flooded the barrel, to unflood it. Turn the kill switch off hold the gas full on and turn it over a couple of times.

Good Luck
Cheers

Yea, clean the plug every few times and dip it in gas. I got it going yesterday, maybe I'm just unlucky today. I just hope it goes on saturday! lol A helper to give me a faster push would definately help. MORE SPEED!

Wow I'm hooked!! Thanks to John for lending me a bike today. I had a great time and cant wait to buy a bucket. Unfortunately 6 months ago our 16 yr old daughter got her learners and we brought her a fxr 150 but she is a bit anti Mum taking all the plastic off her pride and joy to fang it around the track!!!. If any one has a bucket for sale please let me know. I would prefer 17 inch wheels but just want to get out there so a learner bucket that Hubby can modify (within reason) would be fine.

Heck I didn't even know there was a buckets forum on this site!!

Today was a good laugh, first time out on a bucket. Only got one session in due to a flat tyre before the day had even begun which I had to head off and get fixed.

Bike seems to handle pretty alright. Motor seems a bit dodge though. Maybe it just isn't meant to rev very much at all??? Oh well, see how it goes tomorrow!
