I have an 87 250x that cant get to start by kicking it. It will start right up when I pull it behind my truck. And after I get it started once it starts fine the rest of the day any ideas where to start?

Welcome to the forums...

Sounds like your decompression cable is out of adjustment. how does it run once you get it started?? Have you done anything to the engine or is it stock?

Do you mean once it's pull started(via truck) once it will start on it's own with the kicker the rest of the day?

 

[TRX2fiveO]

I think he means the kicker.

Agreed with TRX2five0!!

 

[FOXRIDER3361]

Yea after I start it by pulling it then it will start fine.

 

[FOXRIDER3361]

That is triggered by the kick start isnt it?

 

[Billy250X]

Well I'm gonna ask a simple question.Do you use the choke.

If you mean the decompression cable yes.

I'm going to answer it....LOL Don't JK you can answer now...

 

[FOXRIDER3361]

Yea I almost positive it not the choke but the decompression valve could be it because it dosn even sound like it wants to start so it could just be opening to early maybe?

 

[mud99]

It could be hanging open cable getting stuck

 

[FOXRIDER3361]

So how could i go about trouble shooting that? could i hold it closed and try to kick it ?

 

[FOXRIDER3361]

Or what should I do you guys know alot more than me

So how could i go about trouble shooting that?

 

[mud99]

I would get some one to kick it over while you watched the cable to see if its hanging up or not. Number 14

Ok thanks a million my girlfriends hates having to pull me :rating10:

If that's not the problem, then, check you ignition components. You might have weak fire. That's the way they do when you have a weak stator. You can pull them with a vehicle and start them and they will start fine while they're warm. They usually begin by getting harder and harder to start by the starter or kicker, until one day, they won't start at all.
