Perfect cleaned carb out and it's running great thanks for all the help,

hello all. my mates scorpa 04 250 starts with the choke on but stops as soon as you switch the choke off, it will only run with it on, and dose any one know what the air srew setting should be, 1and half turns out or 2 turns, any help much appriciated.

Hi all, some time ago when I was out on the sherco I noticed a lad had a front mounted bottle in-between his forks then the number board over it, has any 1 seen these and any ideas were I can purchase 1, it looked perfect for a refreshing drink when out, any ideas cheers.

Hi I got mine off with plenty wd40 prize it up with a small crowbar, the ball berating I had to cut around it with a hacksaw to get it out, kickstart had snapped so it was no good, good luck hope you sort it

Hi my 05 250 started the same way as you have described, then it kicked back and splutters a lot, I have it running like a dream now after fitting a new stator, might just be worth retarding the timing, I tried lots of different ideas of good help from people on this site. In the end I bit the bullet and went for a stator, might not be your problem but worth checking it out.

new stator arrived to day with no timing marks on, i recon i will just fit it the same as the old 1, fingers crossed it works,

Out today it ran for 30 mins approx, I have bit the bullet big style and ordered a stator of eBay ooooooooooooooooooooooo exspensive hope it sorts it.

Mmmmmmmm what is going on now I have stripped the carb down cleaned it like a new pin, stripped all the wiring out I did find some dampness on some wires, got a new kickstart,(expensive) it has started up and ran for half a hour that's all the time I had to play it's dark, it ticks over great aswell, could I have been looking and blaming the stator and it was dampness all the time, dont believe it, Sunday will tell because I will be out all day fingers crossed, I will inform on Monday if it's sorted cheers every 1 for the info.

I have put it back together set timeing to standard setting, put thread lock on the woodruff key and shaft and threads, everything tightened back up to 75 ft lbs, it started ok ran for few minutes and then started spluttering, I am going to strip all the wires out and clean them and clean the carb just in case it's dampness or something else i might have missed before I buy a stator will keep you all informed thanks for the info but still I have to batter my head on the wall when will I get to ride again,

Sherco is 2.50 2004 if I remove the flywheel put a new wood ruff key in it only seems to last a short while then it kicks back and splutters, when it's running it's sweet as a nut no spluttering, the first time it did it the fly wheel must have slipped on the key, as described on here it took loads of try's to pull the flywheel off and then it came of, put it back together and it lasted a few hours, don't understand why it was running ok and now all I have done is put a new key in, do I need to do the timeing with a strobe light

Can any 1 help my sherco has got me head battered, a few weeks ago it kicked back on me and the rear wheel rotated clockwise, I stripped it timeing set to standard, new woodruff key put it back together, got the nut as tight as it would go with a scaffy bar on the end, 2 meters out the shed it started spluttering and the wheel rotated backwards again, 3 times I have done this in the process I have snapped my kickstart an will have it to replace now, help 1, why dose the wheel rotate backwards, 2, could the groove in the flywheel be worn and that's the problem, 3, is there a bigger woodruff key I can put in, any ideas much appreciated

Before I got it loose I marked it with a marker pen and I just managed to tighten it past the Mark by 3m approximately, took some doing. Thanks to all for the help

I found a post, try waynes help, it's now set to standard setting I will keep it there, no point in trying to walk before I can crawl cheers for the help

Thanks to all for the info got the flywheel off and it had slipped on the woodruff key put new 1 in back together and it's fine cheers guys
