3AJ it wont start on the electric starter

**Fuchur** · #1 29 Oct 2002

Hi Hopefully Klauss

I cant get my 3AJ to start on the electric starter when the machine is cold. That batery is brand new so that cant be it. And you can hear the startermotor rotate...
When I use the built on Kickstarter ir runs with a kick or two.

What is the problem, or what steps do I need to take to figure out what the problem is

Once it's hot, adjust the idle air/fuel mixture with the small screw under the front of the carb. turn it out until it starts running worse, then turn it in until it starts running worse, then back to the middle of both positions.
Otherwise come to the meeting on saturday 2.11 in Nijmegen.[see ]www.tenere.nl]
