Boggy Starter

Postby Granty » Wed May 09, 2018 8:38 am

Guys -- got a standard 200 lump, 42mm clubman & 26mm jetex, just rebuilt top end, carb been stripped cleaned etc, weird one this, when it starts it is very, very boggy, I have to have choke off, throttle wide open and I keep kicking until it bites, when it does bite it picks up very, very slowly and gradually the beats pick up fine & no problem. The jetting is 26mm jetex carb (reemed), GP 200 Slide, 5899-2 atomiser, 123 main jet, 50 pilot & 50 choke.

Am I thinking that lowering the pilot jet to a 48 etc may work? Any ideas guys?

Try it with the air filter off and see what it does

Sounds like choke plunger stuck.

Try first with the air filter hose off. If that improves it try drop the main a little - say 118 and try with the filter on and see if it's any better.

Thanks Guys -- a lot to be getting on with -- I'll start with the choke plunger I think, maybe just flooding the carb straight off the bat, when it does fire it's like it ticks over in slow motion gradually building up to the correct tick over -- once it's up to normal tick over goes great.

mmm - The plot thickens, mine has done this with 2 x stators with the new BGM one only 12 months -- I thought for a second that could have been it but looked back through the timeline. Originally I thought it was just worn rings but I've renewed them also -- weird.

Have you checked your pick up alignment?

No mate, not checked that, been thinking through this issue & it was prevalent when trying to hot start after some hefty rally miles, I thought it was the rings so changed them, it's happened over the lifetime of 2 x stators and now it's started when cold starting -- I'll get my head into this & feedback
