XT600k Won't Start :(
Hi everyone,
my XT runs like an absolute dream...when I can get it started.
Just before I put the bike into winter hibernation, in November, I was stranded at work for an hour or two because she just wouldn't start. It would fire once and splutter, but that was it. I just put this down to the cold whether, which has always made it more difficult to get her going. After lots of attempts and some really loud backfires, it started up and I managed to get home. Once it was running, the bike went like a dream.
I took her out of winter storage yesterday and she started up on the 3rd kick and sounded great. I left her to run for some minutes and then did an oil change. She started up on the 1st kick and I left her to run and then turned the bike off so that I could check the level. On the third start, I had the same problem that I did before the winter, the bike would fire once and splutter but wouldn't start. There was fuel flowing into the carbs, I emptied the floats, but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it? It's strange because once the bike is going, she runs great. It's so frustrating!
Thanks for any help offered,
Andrew
