folks,
solve one problem and......
rd/lc hybrid engine. starts on right hand cylinder only. nothing at all from the left. swapped the orange coil wires over and the plug leads and the problem stays on the same side.
I assume that this test absolutely rules anything electrical out, I have swapped the plugs over as well.
so I am thinking to start looking at the carb, however the plug is always wet.
any ideas??
thanks

Good day folks,

question on my dt250mx. recon engine, good compression etc.

starting from cold with or without choke, it will fire ONCE and then appear to flood. if I remove and dry the plug it will repeat the same fire once. I can start it by bumping and it will run very well after that.

I have changed the carb for a brand new one, and messed with jetting/mixtures, same problem.

so my question is this. could a weak spark get flooded out and then fail and appear to be caused by flooding. if so I will start replacing electrical parts one by one.

any advice appreciated.
thanks and stay safe folks.

Good day folks,

it has been a while but now I am back into building.

I have engines completed for a couple of projects, one dt250mx, one dt400 mx. question is this.

I have the stators for both, they are cdi type and that is all I have. I plan to wire them with the minimal amount of wiring necessary to make them run. I  have access to a couple of cdi black boxes and have coils etc, but how to wire? do I need a battery or will they run without?

does anyone have a pointer to a colour wiring diagram for the above models, I am assuming they are roughly the same?

any advice will be much appreciated.

cheers
