Hey guys!
I used to have an account here a few months ago and I was pretty sure this was the nick name I used, but I had just bought a Starfire GT50 and was having great problems with the clutch.
Now it's all done! Looking very tidy if I do say so myself, however just now when I tried to fire it up it stalled.. I rode down a very small incline, pedalling as fast as I could ( I havent fitted new bike gears yet), let the clutch out gently, and it fired up, I even felt it give a tiny little kick at the back wheel. But then after about 2 meters or so it just started to stall.
The choke is all the way up, the arrow on the tank petcock is facing downwards (down towards the carb but the actual lever is pointed up).
The only fuel adjustment I could see was the idle screw, could this be the issue? I turned it about 3.5 turns out from seated.
Mmm apart from that it seems to be working ok so im anxious to get it fired up .
I've never ridden a motorbike or anything like that so i'm totally noob at starting anything, let alone a friction starter.
Any ideas are appreciated.
