Takes forever to start.


Hey Guys



I have as GS250 FWD in a go kart. I have finally got the valuve clearances set,
thanks Carl now it revs. But it is a total pain in the but to start.



One of the air jet screws on the carbie is jammed and there is no way I'll get
it out. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what do you suggest I
do.



When I try to start it it can take me 20 mins or until a flat battery to finally
get it to rev and run without the starter moter. Up untill it actully revs the
clyinder with the jamed carbie air screw has not even tried to go, the exhaust
remains stone cold all the others begin to warm up. When It finnaly gets going
all clyinders run fine. and above 4000 rpm appears to rev smooth.



Any ideas?



Thanks



Mal

The GS250FW is rare here in Australia but unfortunately not valuable. Most I see for sale (rarely) are in pretty bad condition and go for less than $1000,...
