1998 ec250 question inside of engine RH side

[Rzez]

thank you for all your replies, hopefully once it's all back together i'll meet some of you out and about. "Jim Cook", that description was amazing!! I now understand how it works, by referring everything you said to the manual. Thank you so much!!! Have to buy a few screws and that part guide's going to help 10 fold too! If you're ever in the Bristol area let me know you can sort my bike out for me

You are very welcome.
Bristol; is that in TN? We're not that far away, relatively speaking.

If a bike's carb has a large enough pilot jet (40, 42, or 45), and the slow speed circuits are clear, the following works for me.
If the bike is cold, try the choke and no throttle.
If it's been running that day, and the weather is not cold, no choke and the throttle closed. (If it is cold weather and the bike has been sitting for longer than 30 minutes, I may have to use the choke when I kick it over.)
If it doesn't start within 5 or six kicks, I hold the throttle wide open and give it a kick. (Mine usually starts first kick.)

Good luck, and if I can assist you in any way, just let me know.

Good Riding!
Jim
