my first gas gas wont start?
Hi all,
I am new to gas gas bikes and I have a problem with my 2001 TXT280. Whilst riding along the beach in top gear I had a sudden loss of power but it took me home, now it does not start? I cleaned the carb and air filter but still no joy. Compression seems fine. Has anyone had the same issue or know what my problem is???? cheers. |

No offense, but...
You got fuel in it? Fuel getting into the carb? You got spark? Carb have a good seal at the head?

Thanks FR,
The plug is wet, it fired once but I have noticed some minor cracking to the rubber boot front of carb but does not seem to be cracked right through?? |

Providing you have spark, my kid burnt his rings on a hi-speed ride and the bike just died. Compression while kicking still felt good. Too much blow-by past the rings to allow the 2t to fire over. Pull the head and check inside.

Loss of power sound like partial seize . Could be due
To petrol starve due to kinked line. Which is easy on these. When I first got my 2000 TXT it took me a while to work out the choke wasn't going on on crazy dellorto carb. There is a GG trial forum to try. |

thanks all, I have checked all the basics, ie fuel and spark. The next task is to take a look at the piston and rings.

Check your reeds. Change that boot, it's not worth the chance at sucking something in.
