I'm having some issues starting my GasGas 280cc TXT. I have had issues starting over the last couple of months, with the bike getting progressively harder to start. On a recent ride this week the bike would start but struggle to run without the throttle opened up and would cut out very quickly. Played around with idle screw with no change. Bought the bike home following the ride and cleaned the carb out with the same issue occurring. Cleaned the carb out again and attempted to restart the following day with no success. Cannot get the bike to even start now (not even close..)
So far in trying to get her running:
Tested the compression - No issue with good compression reading from bike
Put a thimble of petrol directly in the head - No success starting following this.
Cleaned out the carb a number of times
Fuel petcock working fine, seems to be a good fuel supply from tank.
Spark: Appear to be getting a spark (not particularly strong though) but with the plug removed seem to be getting a spark on every kick.
Fitted new plug etc - no positive effect.
Kill switch - Disconnect kill switch, still not starting.
I appreciate that the forum has a number of similar threads on non starting bikes, had a trawl without any success as of yet getting the bike up and running again! Fairly inexperienced with respect to motorcycles (from an mountain bike background) so any help appreciated!
Just want to get her up and running again!
